Is the fabric stretchy?

Troubleshooting

Belt buckle feels stiff or difficult to fasten.

Gently work the buckle back and forth. Ensure no threads are caught in the mechanism. If persistent, consult product care information or seek professional assistance.

Skirt feels creased after storage.

Hang the skirt on a padded hanger. Use a steamer on a low setting or iron on a low heat with a pressing cloth, following the care label instructions. Avoid direct high heat which can damage the tweed.
