FAQs

What occasions is the Isolde Skirt suitable for?

The skirt is highly versatile and suitable for a range of occasions, from casual daytime events to formal evening gatherings, depending on how the convertible overskirt is styled.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the product's size guide, paying close attention to the elastic waistband measurement for the most accurate fit. The model information provided with the product may also offer guidance.

Can I machine wash the skirt?

No, machine washing is not recommended. The skirt is made of silk crepe and requires professional dry cleaning only to maintain its quality.

What does 'bias-cut' mean for the fit?

A bias cut means the fabric is cut diagonally across the grain, allowing it to drape and cling more fluidly. This can result in a flattering silhouette but might also mean the fabric has more stretch and requires careful sizing.

How many ways can the overskirt be styled?

The convertible overskirt offers multiple styling possibilities, which can be achieved by tying, tucking, or draping it in various configurations to create different looks.

Is the beige color true to the image?

Color representation can vary slightly between screens, but the skirt is designed in a classic beige shade. It is best to view the product on multiple devices if possible.

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt is a maxi length, meaning it is designed to fall to the ankle or floor.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the skirt on a low setting, ensuring the iron does not directly touch the fabric, or take it to a professional dry cleaner for pressing.

Overskirt is difficult to style.

Experiment with different tying and tucking methods in a well-lit space. Consider looking for visual guides or videos demonstrating styling options for convertible garments.

Fabric feels stiff after attempting to clean.

This indicates improper cleaning. Seek professional dry cleaning services and inform them of the fabric composition.
