What occasions is this skirt best suited for?

Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their shape
Ensure the skirt is stored by hanging and avoid excessive folding. Professional dry cleaning is the best method for re-establishing pleats.
Satin fabric looks dull or marked
Satin can be sensitive. Avoid harsh chemicals or direct heat. Consult a professional dry cleaner for stain removal.
Waistband feels tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The structured waistband is designed for a tailored fit; consider pairing with tops that can balance the silhouette.
Skirt snags easily
Be mindful of accessories and surfaces that could catch the delicate satin fabric. Handle with care to prevent tears or pulls.
