Troubleshooting

Skirt wrinkles easily

This is characteristic of linen blends. To minimize wrinkles, try steaming the skirt or ironing on a low heat setting while slightly damp. Avoid over-packing the skirt.

Buttons feel loose

If buttons feel loose, carefully reinforce them by hand-sewing with a matching thread. Consult a tailor for significant damage.

Fabric appears dull after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cold water for hand washing. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive agitation. Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve color and texture.
