Troubleshooting
Skirt appears wrinkled after storage.
Hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or iron carefully on a very low heat setting on the reverse side with a pressing cloth.
Fabric feels stiff or loses its sheen.
This may indicate improper cleaning. Ensure you follow dry clean only instructions. Avoid washing with harsh chemicals or excessive heat.
Front split edges are not lying flat.
Ensure the skirt is properly steamed or ironed. The construction of the split should allow it to lie flat; if not, a tailor might be able to make minor adjustments.
