FAQs
How do I care for this jacquard skirt?
Due to the embroidered and jacquard fabric, dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the structure and embroidery. If machine washing, use a gentle cold cycle in a laundry bag and hang to dry. Avoid wringing.
Is this skirt true to size?
The skirt is high-waisted and designed with a slimming A-line cut. We recommend consulting the size chart on the product page. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit through the hips.
Can I wear this skirt for formal occasions?
Yes. The rich black jacquard and peony embroidery make it suitable for semi-formal events, weddings, and cultural celebrations. Pair with a silk mandarin collar top for a traditional look, or a blazer for a refined modern ensemble.
Does the fabric stretch?
No. The jacquard fabric is structured and wrinkle-resistant with minimal stretch. The waistband may have some give, but the main body retains its shape to keep the pleats crisp.
