How do I achieve a co-ord look?

What shoes pair well with this skirt?

Strappy heels, elegant sandals, or pointed-toe pumps complement the skirt for formal occasions. For a slightly more relaxed look, consider heeled ankle boots.

Is the fit true to size?

The skirt has a regular fit and a straight shape. It is designed to skim the body. Refer to size guides and consider the bias cut's potential to drape differently on various body shapes.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears creased

Hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct high heat.

Fabric has lost its sheen

Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat when washing or drying. Dry cleaning may help restore appearance.

Zipper is sticking

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a tiny bit of clear lip balm to the zipper teeth and try again.
