Troubleshooting

Fabric loses shape after wear.

Ensure proper storage by hanging or folding neatly. The compact stretch fabric is designed to retain shape, but prolonged stretching or incorrect storage can affect this. Refer to care instructions for optimal maintenance.

Buttons appear loose or damaged.

Gently tighten any loose buttons. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner for repair or replacement, especially if the gold-tone finish needs to be preserved.

Minor creasing occurs.

Hang the skirt on a padded hanger or use a steamer on a low setting. Avoid excessive ironing, which can damage the fabric's texture.
