Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased after washing
Gently steam the garment on a cool setting, focusing on the affected areas. Alternatively, lay flat to dry after a gentle reshape.
Pleats losing their definition
Carefully re-press the pleats using a cool iron on the reverse side, or use a garment steamer. Ensure the fabric is dry before attempting to press.
Garment feels stiff after drying
Gently shake out the garment after it has air-dried. If still stiff, a light steaming can help restore softness.

- Washing: Due to the delicate nature of the viscose filament blend and the semi-sheer pleated panels, hand washing in cold water is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry to maintain the shape and prevent stretching. Avoid machine drying.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Pay special attention to the pleated sections to maintain their structure. Steaming may be a safer alternative for the pleated panels.
