Troubleshooting

Wrinkles in silk fabric

Gently steam the skirt on a low heat setting. Alternatively, iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth on the lowest heat setting. Avoid direct high heat.

Stains on the skirt

For best results, consult a professional dry cleaner immediately. Blot small spills gently with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Loss of shape

Ensure the skirt is stored correctly by hanging it on a padded hanger to maintain its structure. Avoid folding for extended periods. Follow dry cleaning instructions to prevent fabric degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a garment, this skirt requires no setup. It is ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility: This skirt is designed to be paired with various tops and footwear. For professional settings, consider tailored blouses, blazers, and heeled shoes. For evening or smart-casual occasions, silk tops, fitted knitwear, and heeled mules or sandals complement its silhouette. Ensure underwear lines are minimal to maintain the smooth, sculpted effect.
