How do I clean the skirt to preserve the pleats?

The skirt should be dry cleaned only. This method is best for maintaining the integrity of the fabric and the sharpness of the pleats. Avoid machine washing or hand washing.

Can the buckle be removed?

The gold-tone buckle is a design feature and is not intended to be removed. It is securely attached to the wrap design of the skirt.

Troubleshooting

Creases not falling out after unpacking.

Gently steam the skirt on a low setting, focusing on the pleated areas. Ensure the iron does not directly touch the fabric if ironing is required; use a pressing cloth on a low heat setting on the reverse side.

Buckle appears tarnished.

Gently polish the gold-tone buckle with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or liquids, which could damage the finish.

Skirt fabric feels stiff or loses shape.

Ensure the skirt has been dry cleaned as per instructions. Improper washing can affect the fabric's drape. Proper storage on a suitable hanger will help maintain its shape.
