FAQs
What size should I order?
The skirt is designed to be 'True to size.' We recommend ordering your usual UK women's dress size for the best fit.
Can I wear this skirt in warm weather?
The skirt features a 'Warm Knitted Fabric' (70% Polyester, 30% Polyamide), making it more suitable for cooler seasons or air-conditioned environments rather than very warm weather, where it might feel too warm.
How long is the skirt?
The length is approximately 80cm, providing a flattering midi length that typically falls mid-calf for most individuals, offering a modest and chic look.
Is the waistband comfortable?
Yes, it features an 'Elasticated Waistband' designed for comfort for everyday wear, adapting to your waist without feeling restrictive or digging in.
What kind of top should I wear with it?
It is highly versatile. You can pair it with a classy top, blouse, fine knit jumper, or even a casual long-sleeve top for a range of looks. Boots, heels, or stylish trainers can complete the ensemble depending on the occasion.
Will this skirt wrinkle easily?
The polyester-polyamide blend knitted fabric is generally resistant to heavy wrinkling. If wrinkles occur, a low heat iron with a pressing cloth is recommended to smooth them out gently.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears stretched after washing
Ensure you are laying the skirt flat to dry and not hanging it when wet. Knitted fabrics can stretch when wet due to gravity. Gently reshape the skirt while it is still damp.
Pilling (small fabric balls) appears on the skirt
Pilling is common with knitted blends. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or a de-fuzzer. To minimize pilling, wash the skirt inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid excessive friction during wear or washing.
Fabric feels stiff or less soft after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals. A fabric softener can be used sparingly during the rinse cycle, but always check care label recommendations first. Over-drying can also make fabrics stiff; ensure you air dry properly.
Colour appears dull or faded over time
Always wash with similar colors in cold water using a gentle cycle. Excessive heat or harsh detergents can contribute to color fading. Consider using detergents specifically designed for dark or colored garments.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose
The skirt is designed as a regular fit and true to size. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, double-check if the correct size was purchased. If the waistband itself feels damaged, it might be due to incorrect washing (e.g., high heat affecting elastic). Avoid pulling or stretching the waistband excessively.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Comfortable Fit: Elasticated waistband and A-line cut ensure all-day comfort.
- Versatile Style: Perfect for both professional 'desk' and social 'dinner' occasions, easily dressed up or down.
- Flattering Silhouette: Midi length and A-line shape complement various body types, offering a modest yet chic look.
- Easy Care: Machine washable fabric simplifies maintenance, making it convenient for busy lifestyles.
- Warm & Modest: Knitted fabric provides warmth, and midi length offers a modest aesthetic suitable for cooler weather.
Cons
- Material Blend: While warm, the synthetic blend (Polyester/Polyamide) may not offer the same level of breathability as natural fibers for warmer climates.
- Potential for Pilling: Knitted fabrics, especially blends, can sometimes be prone to pilling over time with friction.
- Seasonal Suitability: Best suited for cooler weather due to its warm knitted fabric, potentially limiting year-round wear.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your knitted midi skirt, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing:
- Machine Washable: Turn the skirt inside out before washing to protect the knit.
- Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C/86°F).
- Use a mild detergent suitable for delicates.
- Wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer.
- Drying:
- Lay Flat to Dry: To prevent stretching or distortion of the knitted fabric, gently reshape the skirt and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface or a mesh drying rack.
- Avoid hanging when wet, as this can cause the skirt to stretch out of shape.
- Do not tumble dry, as this can cause shrinkage, damage the elastic, or affect the fabric's texture.
- Storage:
- Fold: Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf to prevent stretching or hanger marks, which can occur with heavy knits.
- Avoid hanging for prolonged periods.
- Ironing:
- If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (synthetic setting) from the inside out.
- Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and prevent scorching or shine.
- Avoid direct high heat, which can damage polyester/polyamide blends or melt fibers.
