Troubleshooting
Belt buckle feels stiff
Gently work the buckle back and forth. If it remains stiff, a very small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the hinge, but use sparingly to avoid staining the fabric.
Tweed fabric looks matted or flattened
Avoid excessive pressing when ironing. If the texture is lost, a garment steamer used from a distance can sometimes help to lift the fibers. Always check the care label first.
Skirt feels slightly restrictive
Ensure the skirt is the correct size. The front split is designed to aid movement; ensure it is not being constrained by other garments or footwear.
