FAQs
What is the best way to clean this skirt?
Professional dry cleaning is the safest method to maintain the fabric's structure and prevent potential shrinkage.
Does the skirt fit true to size?
The skirt is designed for a structured, tailored fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly looser feel, we recommend referring to the size chart provided for your specific UK size.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing due to the delicate nature of the compact viscose; dry cleaning is strongly advised.
Is the fabric prone to fading?
To maintain the vibrancy of the purple or the depth of the black, store the skirt away from direct sunlight.
What kind of shoes pair best with this length?
Heels or heeled boots are recommended to best complement the maxi length and maintain the integrity of the fishtail silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creasing upon arrival
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to gently release wrinkles.
Skirt feels restrictive when walking
Ensure the skirt is positioned at your natural waist; if still restrictive, consider a different size to allow for the intended movement of the fishtail cut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your skirt in peak condition, always adhere to the following maintenance steps:

- Storage: Hang the skirt using a skirt hanger with padded clips to avoid permanent marks on the waistband or fabric.
- Compatibility: This piece is best styled with fitted tops to balance the volume created by the fishtail hem. It is available in various sizes (e.g., UK 6 to 18) and two versatile colors, purple and black, ensuring a fit for different body types.
