VERY J Pleated Activewear Skirt with Shorts Inside — Fit, Fabric & Care

How to measure (body and garment)

Garment measurements are taken with the skirt laid flat on a smooth surface. For any "flat" width measurement, double the number to get the full circumference. When measuring your body, keep the tape snug but not tight and measure over light underwear.

• Waist (garment): Lay the skirt flat and measure straight across the top edge of the waistband. Multiply by 2 to get the waistband circumference. To find maximum stretch, gently stretch the waistband and measure again.
• Hip / Fullest part (garment): Smooth pleats without flattening them and measure across the skirt at the fullest point (typically 7–9 cm / 3–4 in below the waistband). Double that measurement for the hip circumference.
• Skirt length (center front): From the top edge of the waistband straight down to the hem at the center front. For pleated styles, measure along the front so pleat depth is included.
• Built-in shorts — inseam: Turn the shorts inside (if needed) and measure from the crotch seam straight down to the inner short hem.
• Short rise: Measure from the top of the waistband to the crotch seam (front rise). If needed for fit, also measure back rise from waistband to back crotch seam.
• Thigh opening (shorts): Measure across the leg opening of one short leg and double for the circumference.
• Hem width & pleat depth (optional): Measure across the hem and double for full hem circumference. To record pleat fullness, measure one pleat’s folded depth from top to hem.

How to measure yourself: Waist — at the narrowest point; Hips — at the fullest part; Height — barefoot from top of head to floor. Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements (not just size label) for the best fit. If between sizes, choose based on waistband preference (snug vs. relaxed).

Materials & performance (what to expect)

Exact fabric content varies by batch; always check the sewn care label for the definitive composition. Typical construction for this style is:

• Shell (pleated skirt): Polyester blends (commonly polyester + elastane/spandex). Polyester holds pleats well, dries quickly and resists wrinkling; added elastane gives stretch and recovery.
• Built-in shorts: Nylon or polyester with elastane/spandex for a snug, compressive, moisture-wicking inner short that gives chafe-free coverage and "squat-proof" performance.
• Gusset/lining: Often a breathable mesh or cotton-blend gusset for comfort and airflow.

Common performance features you may find: four-way stretch, moisture-wicking/quick-dry finish, odor-control treatments, and low-crease/shape retention. Feel clues: polyester → smooth, slightly crisp; nylon → very smooth and slightly slippery; elastane → high elasticity and quick recovery.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Wash: Machine wash cold (30°C/86°F) on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Turn the skirt inside out and fasten any closures. Use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
• Detergent & additives: Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach. Avoid fabric softeners — they reduce moisture-wicking performance and can affect elasticity.
• Drying: Air-dry by hanging or laying flat. To preserve pleats and elastane life, avoid high heat. If you must tumble-dry, use the lowest heat and remove promptly.
• Pleat care: For crisp pleats, reshape while damp. Use a handheld steamer on low (hold ~6–12 inches away) and steam along each pleat, smoothing with your hand or a press cloth. Clip pleat edges or use clothespins while drying for a sharper set.
• Ironing: If necessary, iron on the lowest safe synthetic setting with a press cloth between iron and fabric. Press gently — avoid stretching the elastane.
• Stain removal: Treat stains promptly; dab gently and pre-treat with a mild stain remover safe for synthetics. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Storage: Hang by the waistband or fold with tissue between pleats. Protect from prolonged direct sunlight to avoid fading.
• Built-in shorts: Avoid fabric softener to maintain moisture management and compression. Check seams for wear; re-stitch small seam splits before they grow.

Style tips

• Sport-ready: Pair with a fitted racerback tank, supportive sports bra and low-profile trainers. Add a visor or baseball cap for tennis or golf.
• Everyday casual: Tuck in a soft tee or wear a fitted cropped sweatshirt. White sneakers and a crossbody bag keep the look relaxed and modern.
• Preppy / on-court: Collared polo + ankle socks + court shoes for a classic tennis/golf silhouette.
• Street / athleisure: Oversized hoodie with the skirt peeking out, chunky trainers and crew socks for a trendy layered look.
• Dress-up option: Swap sneakers for block-heel sandals or loafers, add a lightweight blazer and a slim belt for polished casual evenings.
• Cold-weather: Layer thin leggings or tights under the shorts, add tall boots and a cropped puffer or longline coat.
• Proportions: Because pleats add visual volume, balance with a close-fitting or cropped top to keep a clean silhouette; a tucked-in blouse elongates the legs.
• Accessories: Minimal jewelry for sporty looks; visor or bucket hat for sun days; a slim belt to define the waist if desired.

Reminder: For exact fiber content, performance finishes and the manufacturer’s recommended care, always refer to the sewn label inside the garment.
