How do I care for the pleats and buttons?

To maintain the pleats, avoid over-washing and store the skirt on a hanger. Gentle steaming or careful ironing on a low setting can help refresh them. Ensure buttons are handled with care during washing and ironing.

Troubleshooting

Skirt loses its structured shape

Ensure the skirt is stored correctly on a hanger. If the pleats are flattened, professional steaming or careful ironing on a low setting may restore them. Avoid over-washing.

Fabric appears creased after wear

Hang the skirt immediately after wearing. Light steaming can help remove minor creases. For more stubborn wrinkles, follow the recommended ironing instructions carefully.

Buttons become loose

Carefully re-sew loose buttons using a strong thread matching the original. For significant damage, consult a tailor.
