Troubleshooting

Skirt loses shape after wear

Ensure the skirt is stored properly by hanging it on a padded hanger. The compact stretch fabric is designed to regain its shape, but prolonged improper storage can affect this.

Try steaming the garment or ironing on a cool setting inside out. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric.

Buttons become loose

If buttons feel loose, carefully reinforce them with a needle and thread. Ensure the thread matches the color of the original stitching.

Discoloration after washing

Always use cold water for washing and a mild detergent. Ensure the garment is not exposed to direct sunlight while drying, which can cause fading.
