Troubleshooting
Skirt losing its voluminous shape
Ensure the skirt is hung properly in a cool, dry place. If packed, hang immediately upon arrival to allow the weight of the fabric to release wrinkles.
Wrinkling at the pleats
Use a steamer on a low setting. Do not press directly with a hot iron, as this may crush the structure of the woven twill.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this piece is crafted from structured twill and satin-feel materials, it should be treated as a delicate formal garment. When storing, ensure the skirt is hung on a wide-shouldered hanger or clipped securely by the waistband to prevent the box pleats from losing their structure. If the skirt becomes wrinkled during transit, use a low-heat steamer, keeping the nozzle a safe distance from the fabric. Due to the construction, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the finish and the integrity of the pleats. It is compatible with a wide range of formal tops, from satin blouses to structured bodices.
