How to Measure & Find Your Perfect Fit
Waist: Measure the narrowest part of your torso, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground and slightly loose (allow one finger of space).
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, maintaining a consistent height and slight looseness.
Length: Measured from the waist seam down to the hem.
Note: These measurements are reference guides. Actual fit may vary depending on fabric stretch, construction methods, and individual body shape. The fitted construction of this gothic mini skirt means sizing true to chart is recommended.
Care & Longevity
Preservation Techniques: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent to protect the faux leather finish and mesh integrity. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, and high-heat drying. Air dry flat or hang to preserve the structured silhouette. Store away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Occasionally wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its matte finish and prevent dust accumulation.
Zipper Maintenance: The YKK zippers are engineered for longevity. If they become stiff, gently work them back and forth—avoid forcing. For stubborn zippers, a graphite pencil rubbed lightly on the teeth provides natural lubrication.
Hardware Care: The metal grommets and buckles develop a natural patina over time, adding to the gothic aesthetic. Clean with a soft cloth as needed.
