Troubleshooting

Shirred waistband feels too tight or constricting

Ensure the waistband is positioned at your natural waist rather than the hips to allow the elastic to sit comfortably.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Use a garment steamer or a cool iron to gently smooth out the cotton fabric before wearing.

Hemline needs adjusting for height

Because of the full silhouette, standard hem adjustments can be performed by a professional tailor without compromising the skirt's shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a wearable garment, there is no complex setup required. The skirt is designed to be pulled on easily due to the shirred, elasticated waist. For care, it is recommended to follow the standard care label instructions typically associated with cotton garments: machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors, and hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the shirring. To keep the fabric looking its best, a light steam or low-heat iron may be used to remove wrinkles that occur after washing.
