The soft, pastel pink hue is designed to be both flattering and incredibly comfortable, making it a must-have for anyone looking to refresh their wardrobe for the 2026 spring season. While Skims has a global presence, the specific Petal colorway is currently a US-exclusive drop, which has caused quite a stir among Italian fashion enthusiasts who want to stay ahead of the us trends.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

Italian shoppers are increasingly looking toward the US store because it offers a much wider size range and ensures the product is 100% authentic. The local availability in Europe often lags behind, or certain viral colors simply never make it across the Atlantic. This has created a bit of a hidden barrier for those of us living in Milan or Rome who want the latest drops as soon as they hit the market.

Getting around the US-exclusive barrier from Italy

The biggest hurdle when trying to buy from the US Skims store is the shipping restriction. Many US retailers do not ship directly to international addresses, or if they do, the costs are astronomical. This is where using a freight forwarder becomes essential. By using a service like comGateway, you get a tax-free us address that you can use at checkout just like a local resident. This allows you to access the full 2026 collection without being blocked by regional shipping settings.

Once your dress arrives at the US warehouse, it can be sent directly to your door in Italy. This method is often more reliable than waiting for a local release that might never happen. Plus, you can often find popular products that are completely sold out in European boutiques but still in stock in the US.

Shipping Estimates for your Skims order

Before you hit the buy button, it is smart to get an idea of what the journey from the US to Italy will look like. The Skims Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress is made of a lightweight, stretchy modal rib fabric, which is great for keeping international shipping rates low.

Understanding the box weight and dimensions

Here is a breakdown of what to expect for a single dress order:

• Box Weight: Approx. 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg). The dress itself is light, but the packaging adds a small amount of weight.
• Box Dimensions: Small. Typically, these dresses are shipped in a polymailer or a very slim cardboard box (approx. 10 x 8 x 2 inches).
• Volumetric Warning: Since the dress is soft and can be folded flat, you generally do not have to worry about volumetric weight for a single item. However, if you are buying multiple items or a bulky loungewear set, always check the shipping calculator to see if the size of the box will increase your costs.
• Battery Check: This item does not contain lithium batteries or any electronic components. It is perfectly safe for standard air travel.

Handling Italian customs and import taxes

When you ship to Italy, your package will pass through customs. This is the part that often surprises people, but it is manageable if you know what to expect. Since Italy is part of the EU, you will likely be responsible for paying VAT (IVA) and potentially import duties depending on the total value of your order.

As of 2026, the threshold for duty-free imports into Italy remains relatively low, so it is best to factor in an additional 22% for VAT plus any administrative fees charged by the local courier. You can use an estimate shipping cost tool to get a better idea of the total landed cost before you finalize your purchase. Dealing with these fees upfront ensures that your Italy delivery goes smoothly without your package being held at the border.

Ordering your dress with a package forwarder

The process is actually quite straightforward. First, sign up for a shop us store account to get your dedicated US address. When you go to the Skims website, make sure you are on the US version of the store. Add the Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress in the Petal colorway to your cart and use your new US address as the shipping destination.

Once Skims delivers the package to the warehouse, you will receive a notification. At this point, you can choose your preferred international shipping method. If you have ordered from other stores, you can even consolidate your packages into one box to save on shipping fees. This is a great way to grab other 2026 spring essentials while you are at it.
