Product Information

Full details

The Lauren by Ralph Lauren Pleated Skirt is a refined wardrobe staple designed for adult women who value a balance between structured elegance and day-long comfort. Featuring a sophisticated vertical pleat design, this skirt offers a sharp, clean silhouette without the added bulk often found in formal wear. While the skirt provides a versatile look suitable for various occasions, users should note that the elasticated waistband requires careful attention to avoid over-stretching when putting it on.

FAQs

Does the skirt come in other sizes?

Yes, this specific Lauren by Ralph Lauren model is available in a range of sizes from UK 8 through UK 16.

Can I iron this pleated skirt?

We recommend avoiding direct ironing on the pleats. If needed, use a garment steamer on a low setting from a distance to remove wrinkles.

Is the waistband adjustable?

The waistband is elasticated for a flexible fit but does not feature drawstrings or internal buttons.

What is the primary material composition?

The skirt is made from premium synthetic fabrics chosen for their durability, drape, and ability to hold pleats long-term.

Does the skirt have pockets?

No, this design focuses on a streamlined silhouette and does not include pockets.

Is this skirt appropriate for formal events?

Yes, its sophisticated drape and clean lines make it highly suitable for semi-formal and formal business attire.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing definition after washing

Ensure you are using a delicate cycle and air drying; if the pleats look messy, hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom to let gravity and moisture relax the fabric back into shape.

Skirt feels too tight at the waist

The skirt features an elasticated waist designed for a snug fit; if you find it restrictive, ensure it is sitting at your natural waist rather than hips, as the waistband is tailored for a higher-rise fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable construction
  • Versatile design suitable for both professional and casual settings
  • Maintains structure without feeling restrictive
  • Easy to pull on thanks to the elastic waistband

Cons

  • Hand wash or delicate cycle recommended for pleat longevity
  • Requires careful storage to prevent pleat flattening
  • Elasticated waist may lose elasticity if pulled excessively

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your skirt remains in top condition, proper care is essential:

  1. Storage: Always hang the skirt by the waistband using skirt hangers or store it laid flat. Avoid folding it for long periods to preserve the crispness of the pleats.
  2. Cleaning: It is best to hand wash or use a cold, delicate machine cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals that might strip the fabric's natural sheen.
  3. Drying: Never tumble dry. Air dry the skirt flat or on a hanger in a cool, shaded area to prevent pleat distortion from high heat.
  4. Compatibility: This item is designed as a standard UK size 8. Please refer to size charts if you are between sizes to ensure the elastic waistband fits comfortably without undue tension.
