Check whether the care instructions allow machine washing, hand washing, or another specified method. Do not assume all fabrics with the same fiber name tolerate the same wash, since finishes and construction can differ.

If the skirt has an elasticated waist, check any relaxed and stretched measurements that the seller provides. Consider the room needed around the lower part of a narrow skirt, especially if you take long strides.

Gathering at the waist can add fullness near the waistband, which may influence how you choose to tuck a top. Large pockets or other surface details may influence the visible shape, making product photographs worth examining carefully.
