Troubleshooting
Lace snagging or pulling
Avoid contact with rough surfaces. If a small snag occurs, do not pull it. Gently try to tease the thread back into place or consult a professional tailor.
Skirt losing shape after washing
Ensure the skirt is laid flat to dry and is not hung while wet. Proper drying is crucial for maintaining the garment's structure. Consider professional cleaning for best results.
