For cooler weather, add a denim jacket or a chunky knit sweater. The a-line shape pairs nicely with ankle boots or sneakers for a casual look, or with sandals for warmer days. Because the skirt is made from cotton drill, it has a structured feel that holds its shape throughout the day.
Caring for Your A Line Skirt Flames
To keep the flame print vibrant and the cotton drill in good condition, follow these care steps.
- Wash cold on a gentle cycle: Use a gentle detergent in a cold machine wash. This helps preserve the print and the fabric.
- Dry inside out, away from the dryer: Dry your skirt inside out on the line, not in the drier. This prevents fading and shrinkage.
- Avoid soaking or bleach: Do not soak or bleach your Thunderpants items. These can damage the print and weaken the cotton.
What to Keep in Mind
The skirt is lovingly made to order, so allow up to 2 weeks for dispatch. Lengths are approximate, so check the garment measurements if you need a specific length. The flame print is hand-printed, meaning each skirt may have slight variations—part of its charm. With proper care, this skirt can be a long-lasting, versatile piece in your wardrobe.
