I own it and love it. It’s a fitted skirt (like most knit skirts) but the size chart was accurate. I bought a size small.

If you all notice , ALL the girls in the pics are wearing nude pantyhose with boots 😱

So interesting. What makes them sell it on Ali instead of Jewish stores?
It must take forever to be shipped, probably...

this way the clothes ship straight from the factory to the customer. They don't need to pay for bulk shipping, tax, storage, they don't need to deal with sales or shipping to customers, the factory takes care of all of it. They just design the clothes and advertise them. Much less work and expense.

Just got mine delivered today.
It looks nice but how do I take all the creases out?
It’s not accordion pleated ….
More like aline

U think I need to give it in to cleaners to get professionally ironed? Into pleats ?

Mine came like that, they told me I should iron it but that seemed like an incredible pain so I got a refund.
Someone on here suggested hanging it and it did help restore the pleats a little but it still needs a full pressing to look the way to it’s meant to which I don’t have patience to do.

It’s Strange that it didn’t come pleated. I got one last year and it’s still good. Runs very small though.

Huh? I have a couple of them. It’s not the pleats that you’re thinking of so don’t order it thinking you’re getting pleats (that are ironed)

I have 2 of them. Normally I’m a small and I sized up to a medium. I wash cold delicate and so far they’re great!

But they are creased.
Even if not pleated.

Should there be NO pleats at all?

I had the same thing. But it’s not a skirt that has proper pleats- if you wash it and hang to dry it will be perfect. Or just wear as is and then it will be even better after you wash it!

How do I wash it?
In cold water inside out?

The one that I have I wash on a 30 and hang. But don’t take my word for it- check what the washing label says

Thanks for the tip, never would have thought washing would help, it’s still not exactly what I was expecting but it’s much better and actually wearable now.

It’s not really pleated, sort of like open pleats with the lines. Looks nice on.
