Can I machine wash this skirt?

Does the front fold stay in place?
Yes, the fold is precisely tailored and reinforced to maintain its architectural shape during normal wear.
Is the fabric heavy?
It is made of wool, providing a substantial, high-quality weight that drapes elegantly and maintains its structure.

Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles upon arrival
Hang the skirt in a moisture-rich environment like a bathroom while taking a hot shower, or use a professional steamer from a distance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this skirt is made from high-quality wool, maintenance is critical to preserving its structure and appearance. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can ruin the precise tailoring. Always store the skirt on a proper padded hanger to maintain the shape of the waistband and the fall of the fabric. Should the garment arrive with slight wrinkles from shipping, use a handheld fabric steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the wool to avoid scorching. The skirt pairs perfectly with structured blazers or fine-knit sweaters.
