FAQs

What is the material composition of the skirt?

The skirt is made from a blend of `76% Viscose, 21% Polyamide, and 3% Elastane`, providing a comfortable stretch.

Is this skirt true to size?

Yes, it is designed for a `Women's Regular fit` and is `True to size`, so you should order your usual UK dress size.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

Absolutely. This skirt is `Machine Washable`. For best results, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and similar colors.

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt has an `Approx 50cm length`, designed to fall just above the knee.

Does the skirt have pockets?

No, this specific design of the Roman Gingham Straight Stretch Skirt does not include pockets.

How do I ensure the gingham pattern stays vibrant?

To maintain the vibrancy of the `gingham check print`, wash with similar colors, use a mild detergent, and avoid excessive sun exposure when drying.

What kind of waistband does it have?

It features a comfortable `elasticated waistband` with a `pull on` design, meaning there are no zips or buttons.

Troubleshooting

Skirt feels too loose or too tight.

The skirt is designed to be `true to size`. Double-check the size guide against your measurements. If it's consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size. The `stretch fabric` offers some flexibility.

Gingham pattern appears distorted after washing.

Ensure you are washing the skirt according to the `Machine Washable` instructions, preferably on a gentle cycle. Air dry by hanging to help the fabric retain its shape and pattern alignment. Avoid harsh wringing or high heat drying.

Fabric appears creased or wrinkled easily.

While `stretch jersey` is generally resistant to creasing, it can happen. After washing, promptly remove the skirt and hang it to dry. If wrinkles persist, iron on a low setting inside out. Avoid leaving it folded for extended periods.
