Troubleshooting

Skirt loses its shape after washing.

Ensure you are following the specific care instructions for the viscose blend. Dry cleaning is often the best method for maintaining pleats and fabric structure. If hand washing, use cool water and do not wring. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat.

Pleats are not sharp or defined.

Gently press the pleats with a low-heat iron and a pressing cloth. For a quicker refresh, use a steamer, carefully guiding the steam along the pleat lines.

Fabric feels stiff or wrinkled.

Allow the garment to hang for a while; sometimes, the fabric will relax on its own. A light steam can help remove minor wrinkles. Ensure proper storage by hanging the skirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The high-waisted design pairs well with fitted tops, blouses, and fine-knit sweaters. It is suitable for pairing with belts to accentuate the waist. The midi length complements various footwear, from strappy heels to block-heeled mules and elegant flats.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and shape of the viscose blend fabric and the integrity of the pleats, it is recommended to follow the care label closely.
