How does the ombr effect look?
The ombr effect creates a striking gradient that transitions beautifully through tones, offering a captivating visual dimension.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their definition
Ensure the skirt is stored flat or on a padded hanger. Avoid heavy pressing when ironing; use a cool setting with a protective cloth or opt for steaming.
Fabric appears creased
Gently steam the fabric on a low setting or hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom for a short period. If necessary, iron on a cool setting with a pressing cloth.
Ombr effect seems uneven
This is a characteristic of the gradient dye process. Minor variations are normal. Ensure the garment is stored correctly to prevent dye transfer or uneven fading.

Care:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate organdie fabric and detailed pleating, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the garment's integrity and color.
- Storage: Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and snagging. Hang on a padded hanger to preserve the pleats and fabric structure. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe.
