Troubleshooting

Skirt appears creased after washing.

Ensure the skirt is ironed on a low heat setting while slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth. Re-establish pleats carefully during the ironing process.

Fabric feels stiff.

This is characteristic of the structured cotton blend designed for drape. Gentle wear will soften the fabric over time. Ensure proper washing and drying techniques are followed.

Buttons seem loose.

Gently check the security of the buttons. If loose, they can be carefully re-sewn by hand using a strong thread matching the button backing color.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Refer to the garment's care label. Typically, a gentle hand wash or a delicate cycle with cold water is recommended for cotton blends to preserve the fabric's structure and color.
  • Drying: Avoid machine drying. Lay flat or hang to dry, away from direct sunlight, to prevent shrinkage and maintain shape.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, preferably while the garment is slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and buttons. Iron the pleats carefully to maintain their crispness.
  • Special Care: Consider professional dry cleaning for best results, especially to maintain the integrity of the gold-tone button detailing and overall garment structure.
