The front split is a fixed design feature and is not adjustable.

Troubleshooting
Satin fabric appears creased after storage.
Gently steam the skirt on a cool setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. If necessary, iron on a low heat setting from the reverse side with a pressing cloth.
Skirt does not drape as expected.
Ensure the skirt is fully lined and that the lining is not twisted. Check that the garment is hung correctly on a padded hanger to maintain its shape.
Snag or pull on the satin surface.
For minor snags, you may be able to gently pull the thread back through from the reverse side with a needle. For more significant damage, professional repair or alteration may be required.
