Troubleshooting

Skirt feels too tight or loose despite being 'true to size'.

While the skirt is described as true to size, individual body shapes can vary. Ensure you've selected the correct UK size. The stretch fabric offers some flexibility, but if it feels significantly off, consult the brand's specific size guide or consider an alternative size. Remember, an elasticated waist offers comfort but limited adjustable cinching.

Gingham pattern seems faded or dull after washing.

Always machine wash using a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Harsh detergents or hot water can sometimes affect fabric dyes. Avoid direct sunlight when drying for extended periods, as this can also contribute to fading.

Fabric wrinkles easily or loses its smooth appearance.

The blended fabric is designed to resist wrinkles, but proper care is crucial. After washing, gently reshape and hang to dry immediately. Avoid leaving it crumpled. If wrinkles occur, a light iron on a low heat setting (preferably inside out) should smooth them out.

Skirt feels less stretchy over time.

Elastic fibers (Elastane) can degrade over time with improper care, especially excessive heat. Ensure you are following the machine washable instructions, using cold water, and air drying. Avoid high heat during washing or drying.
