FAQs
What is the length of the skirt?
The skirt has an approximate length of 58cm, making it a mini-style skirt.
Is the elasticated waist comfortable?
Yes, the elasticated waist is designed for comfort and flexibility, allowing for a snug yet comfortable fit without pinching or constriction.
How should I wash this skirt?
The skirt is machine washable. We recommend washing it on a gentle cycle with similar colors and air drying to maintain its shape and fabric quality.
Can I wear this skirt to work?
Yes, it is described as 'desk-to-dinner friendly.' Pair it with a professional top, blazer, and appropriate footwear for a business-casual office look. However, consider the 'mini' length and your workplace's dress code.
What kind of fabric is it made from?
The skirt is made from a stretchy brushed fabric blend of 80% Polyester, 17% Viscose, and 3% Elastane, offering softness and flexibility.
Are the pockets functional?
The skirt features 'welt pocket detailing.' While they are part of the design, welt pockets are often small or primarily decorative rather than deep, functional pockets.
Is the skirt true to size?
Yes, the skirt is designed for a 'Regular fit' and is stated to be 'True to size' according to Roman's sizing standards.
Troubleshooting
Skirt feels too tight or too loose.
The skirt is designed to be true to size. Double-check the size guide against your current measurements. If the fit isn't right, consider exchanging for a different size.
Fabric appears creased after washing.
While machine washable, some stretching or wrinkling can occur. Gently reshape the skirt while damp and lay flat or hang to dry. If needed, iron on a low setting inside out.
Pockets seem too small or purely decorative.
The skirt features 'welt pocket detailing,' which often means the pockets are small or primarily for aesthetic purposes rather than deep functionality. This is a design feature, not a defect.
Skirt rides up when walking or sitting.
This can sometimes occur with pencil skirts, especially those with a 'mini' length. Ensure the elasticated waist is sitting correctly. Pairing with tights can sometimes help reduce friction and keep the skirt in place.
Print seems distorted.
The skirt has a 'bias check print' which means the pattern is cut on the diagonal, giving it a unique, dynamic look. This is intentional and adds to its style, not a flaw.
Pros and Cons

- Easy Care: Machine washable material simplifies maintenance.
- Fashion-Forward Design: The check print and pencil shape offer a classic yet on-trend look.
- True to Size: Designed for a regular fit that aligns with standard sizing, reducing guesswork.
Cons
- Mini Length: At approximately 58cm, its mini length might not be suitable for all professional environments or personal preferences.
- Fabric Blend: While stretchy, the high polyester content may not be preferred by those who favor natural fibers.
- Specific Pattern: The check print, while stylish, may limit its versatility compared to a solid-colored skirt for some wardrobes.

- Washing: Machine washable. For best results, wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
