Troubleshooting

Visible creasing after storage

Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting; do not apply a hot iron directly to the fabric surface.

Small spot or mark on the fabric

Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner immediately; do not attempt to spot clean with water as it may leave a ring.

Fit feels slightly tight at the waist

Ensure you are measuring at the narrowest part of your torso; if the fit remains uncomfortable, consult a tailor for minor adjustments to the inner seam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This skirt is designed as a standalone piece and does not require complex assembly. To ensure compatibility with your existing wardrobe, measure your natural waistline to match the UK Size 12 specification.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Always check the internal garment tag; professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and color.
  • Storage: Use a skirt hanger with clips to prevent deep creases.
  • Handling: Avoid contact with oils, makeup, or strong dyes, as the white fabric is highly absorbent of external pigments.
