Troubleshooting

Hang the skirt on a padded hanger and allow it to rest. If creases persist, consult the care label for steam pressing or dry cleaning recommendations. Avoid direct ironing on the buttons.

Buttons feel loose.

Gently tighten the buttons using a needle and thread. If the threads are significantly worn, professional repair may be needed.
