Troubleshooting

Skirt loses its tailored shape after washing.

Ensure you are following the specific care instructions, particularly regarding washing temperature and drying method. Avoid tumble drying and lay flat or hang to dry.

Buttons appear loose or damaged.

Gently inspect the buttons and their fastenings. If loose, they may require re-securing by a tailor. For damage, consider professional repair or replacement with similar gold-toned buttons.

Fabric appears creased after storage.
