Troubleshooting

Skirt appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the skirt on a low setting or take it to a professional dry cleaner for pressing. Avoid direct ironing on decorative elements.

Fabric feels stiff or loses drape.

Ensure you are following the dry clean only instructions. Re-steaming might help restore drape, but avoid excessive heat.

Gold-tone buttons lose their shine.

Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals directly on the buttons. A gentle wipe with a soft, dry cloth should suffice. For significant tarnishing, consult a professional cleaner for advice on metal finishes.
