What material is the skirt made of?

Troubleshooting

Skirt is creased

Gently handwash in cool water and hang to dry on a padded hanger. For stubborn creases, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, preferably with a pressing cloth.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you used cool water and a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Hang to dry away from direct heat.

Zipper is sticking

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is straight and not bunched. You can try gently working the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil lead rubbed on the teeth might help.
