Pleats are losing their shape.
Ensure the skirt is dry cleaned only. Avoid machine washing or excessive heat when pressing. If pressing is needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth.
Satin finish appears dull or marked.
Avoid direct contact with water or harsh chemicals. Professional dry cleaning is the best method to preserve the sheen. Do not iron directly on the satin surface.
