Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the garment in pristine condition, store it on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the waistband and the fall of the pleats. Because of the delicate nature of the woven twill and the specific pleated construction, this garment is not suitable for machine washing. Always refer to the garment's internal care label for specific maintenance instructions, which typically recommend professional dry cleaning to protect the integrity of the silhouette.
