Troubleshooting

Skirt loses shape after washing

Ensure you are following the care label instructions precisely, using a gentle cycle and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive heat during drying. Air drying or low tumble dry is recommended.

Zip is stiff or difficult to move

Gently pull the zip up and down a few times. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite pencil lead rubbed along the teeth can help lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip mechanism.

Fabric appears wrinkled

Hang the skirt immediately after washing. If wrinkles persist, use a steam iron on a low setting on the reverse side of the fabric.
