Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Given the structured woven twill fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the box pleats and fabric density.
- Storage: Hang the skirt using a proper skirt hanger with clips to maintain the weight distribution of the pleats. Avoid folding the garment to prevent deep creasing.
- Ironing: Use a low-heat setting or a professional garment steamer to smooth out any transport wrinkles, taking care not to crush the sculpted pleat architecture.
- Compatibility: This item is designed for formal occasion dressing and pairs best with strappy heeled mules or elegant pumps to enhance the elongated look.
