Troubleshooting
Skirt pleats are not holding their shape.
Ensure the skirt is being dry cleaned as recommended. Avoid over-ironing or using high heat, which can flatten the pleats. Store the skirt properly on a hanger to maintain its structure.
Skirt feels too heavy or warm.
This skirt is designed with substantial fabric for structure, making it ideal for cooler weather or formal indoor events. Consider pairing with lighter fabrics for the top or reserving for occasions during cooler seasons.
The fit around the waist is not as expected.
Verify the UK size 12 fit against standard sizing charts. For minor adjustments, consider the use of shapewear or a well-fitted belt. Consult a tailor for significant alterations.
