Troubleshooting
Skirt feels too long
Consider professional tailoring for a custom hem length. Ensure you are wearing appropriate footwear for the intended length.
Satin fabric has lost its sheen
This may be due to improper cleaning or prolonged exposure to heat/sunlight. Professional dry cleaning is recommended to restore the fabric's appearance if possible.
Minor creases are visible
Hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side with a protective cloth. Avoid direct high heat.
