Troubleshooting

Creasing in fabric

Ensure the skirt is stored correctly, preferably hung. If creased, use a cool iron on the reverse side only. Professional dry cleaning can also help manage persistent creases.

Loss of sheen

Avoid harsh cleaning methods. Stick to recommended dry cleaning. Protect the fabric from excessive heat or friction, which can dull the natural sheen.

Fit issues

Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements before purchasing. Consider the UK sizing provided. If the fit is not quite right, explore available sibling sizes or consult with a tailor for minor alterations.
