FAQs
What is 'Petite' sizing?
'Petite' sizing indicates that the garment is cut with shorter lengths and adjusted proportions (e.g., rise, sleeve length, skirt length) to fit individuals typically 5'3" (160 cm) and under, ensuring a better fit without needing extensive alterations.
Can I wear this skirt in warmer weather?
The skirt is crafted with a knitted fabric (70% Polyester, 30% Polyamide) designed to 'keep you cosy' and 'stay warm' in winter. While breathable, it may be too warm for spring or summer wear. It's best suited for autumn and winter.
Does the elasticated waistband dig in or feel restrictive?
The skirt features a 'comfortable elasticated waistband' designed for 'all-day wear'. It should provide a secure fit without feeling overly restrictive, especially since the skirt is also 'True to size'.
Is this skirt lined?
The product description does not specify if the skirt is lined. (Info needed: Confirmation on lining status).
How long is the skirt exactly?
The skirt has a 'Midi Length' which is approximately 75cm from the waistband to the hem. Please note that this length will appear differently depending on your height.
What kind of shoes are best to pair with this skirt?
For a trendy winter look, the product suggests pairing it with trainers and a jacket for casual outings. It also works well with ankle boots or knee-high boots to enhance the sophisticated midi silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Skirt feels too tight or too loose.
The skirt is designed to be 'True to size' and a 'Regular fit'. Double-check your current UK dress size against the size purchased. Remember this is a 'Petite' item, so if you are not petite, proportions might feel off, even if the waist fits.
Material feels scratchy or uncomfortable.
Ensure the skirt has been washed according to the 'Machine Washable' instruction. Sometimes, a gentle wash with a fabric conditioner can soften knitted materials. If the issue persists, the material blend (70% Polyester, 30% Polyamide) might not suit your skin sensitivity.
Skirt appears to have shrunk or stretched after washing.
Always follow the 'Machine Washable' care instruction precisely. Incorrect water temperature or harsh drying methods can affect knitted fabrics. (Info needed: specific drying instructions for this material blend to prevent issues).
Pilling (small balls of fabric) are forming on the skirt.
Pilling can occur with knitted fabrics due to friction. To reduce this, wash the skirt inside out and avoid excessive rubbing. A fabric shaver or pilling comb can carefully remove existing pills. (Info needed: specific advice on pilling for Polyester/Polyamide blends).
The midi length doesn't look right on me.
This skirt has an approximate length of 75cm and is specifically a 'Petite' midi skirt. Midi length can vary based on individual height. If it feels too long or short for your preference, consider if the 'Petite' sizing aligns with your height and leg length.

Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the skirt's shape, texture, and longevity:
- Washing: The skirt is Machine Washable. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific temperature recommendations (Info needed: exact wash temperature). It's generally best to wash similar colours together.
- Drying: (Info needed: Specific drying instructions like tumble dry low or lay flat to dry). To best preserve the knitted structure and prevent stretching or shrinking, air drying flat is often recommended for knitted garments.
- Material Composition: Made from 70% Polyester, 30% Polyamide. This blend is known for its durability and resistance to wrinkles, but gentle handling during washing and drying is still advised.
- Storage: Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf to prevent stretching that can occur when hanging knitted items for long periods.
