Troubleshooting

Skirt feels too tight or uncomfortable around the waist.

The skirt features an elasticated waist and stretch fabric, designed to be comfortable. If it feels too tight, double-check that you've selected your correct size, as the product is 'True to size'. Ensure it's worn at your natural waist for optimal comfort.

Fabric appears creased or wrinkled.

While polyester blends are generally wrinkle-resistant, minor creasing can occur. Gently steam the skirt or iron on a low heat setting, inside out, to smooth out wrinkles. Hanging it immediately after washing can also help.

Print looks dull or faded after washing.

Ensure you are following the 'Machine Washable' instructions, using a gentle cycle, cold water, and a mild detergent. Washing with harsh chemicals or at high temperatures can impact fabric dyes over time.

Skirt doesn't hang properly or loses shape.

After washing, ensure the skirt is dried flat or hung properly to maintain its shape. Avoid over-stretching when wet. Storing it on a suitable hanger can also prevent distortion.

Pilling or bobbling appears on the fabric surface.

Pilling can sometimes occur with synthetic blends due to friction. To minimize this, wash inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, a fabric shaver or lint remover can be used carefully to restore the surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable Fit: Thanks to the elasticated waist and stretch jersey fabric.
  • Sophisticated Style: The smart check print and pencil shape offer a chic look.
  • Versatile Styling: Easily paired with various tops and shoes for different occasions.
  • Flattering Silhouette: Designed to provide a sleek and elegant appearance.
  • Easy Care: Machine washable for convenient cleaning and maintenance.
  • Good Shape Retention: The polyester-viscose blend helps the skirt maintain its form.

Cons

  • Specific Pattern: The check print may not suit all personal style preferences or occasions.
  • Synthetic Blend: While durable, a polyester-viscose blend may offer less breathability than natural fibers in very warm weather.
  • Fixed Length: The approximate 58cm length might not be ideal for all heights or desired styles.
  • Limited Movement: While stretchy, a pencil skirt inherently offers less freedom of movement compared to an A-line style.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Use

Upon receiving your Roman Check Print Stretch Pencil Skirt, it's recommended to machine wash it according to the care instructions before the first wear to ensure freshness and optimal fabric feel.

Compatibility (Styling)

This skirt's classic design and print make it highly compatible with a wide range of wardrobe items:

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the skirt's appearance and extend its lifespan. Refer to the care label for the most accurate instructions.

  • Washing: Machine Washable. To protect the fabric and print, use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Wash with similar colours.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: To prevent damage and maintain shape, air dry flat or hang to dry. Avoid high heat in a tumble dryer, as this can affect the stretch and fabric integrity.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out, to protect the print. Avoid direct high heat.
  • Storage: Store on a hanger to prevent creasing and maintain the skirt's shape.
