Troubleshooting
Broderie threads snagging
Gently snip any snagged threads with sharp scissors, being careful not to cut the surrounding fabric. Avoid wearing the skirt near abrasive surfaces.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cold water. A fabric softener might help restore softness, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Lay flat to dry rather than tumble drying.
Skirt appears slightly transparent
Consider wearing seamless nude-toned undergarments. For more coverage, a slip skirt or a longer camisole can be worn underneath.
