Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the satin fabric
Use a low-heat garment steamer from a distance. Do not press directly with a hot iron as it may burn or shine the satin.
Pleats losing their crisp shape
Ensure the skirt is stored hanging vertically. If the pleats remain flat, take the item to a professional dry cleaner to have them professionally pressed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your skirt in pristine condition, ensure it is hung on a wide, padded hanger to prevent the satin from creasing or the waistband from stretching. Because of the structured pleats, avoid folding the skirt for long-term storage; hanging is best to maintain the box-pleat integrity. For cleaning, check the interior garment label for specific fabric care instructions, as the satin material generally requires professional dry cleaning to avoid water spotting or texture damage. If minor wrinkles appear, use a handheld garment steamer at a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to prevent heat damage to the satin finish.
