Troubleshooting

Wrinkling of linen fabric

Gently iron on a low heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steamer. Hanging the skirt after wear can also help minimize wrinkles.

Lace trim appears delicate

Handle with care during washing and storage. Avoid snagging the lace on rough surfaces.

Skirt does not hang as expected

Ensure the skirt is stored properly, preferably hung on a padded hanger. Check if the garment has been over-dried or shrunk during washing, which could affect its drape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  • Drying: Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and shrinkage. Do not tumble dry.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low setting, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and lace.
