Troubleshooting
Satin fabric appears creased after storage.
Gently steam the skirt on a cool setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct high heat ironing.
Zipper feels stiff.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth.
Skirt doesn't drape as expected.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The bias cut is designed to skim the body; if too tight or too loose, the drape may be affected. Check care instructions to ensure fabric hasn't been damaged by improper washing.
