Troubleshooting

Pleats appear flattened or less defined.

After hand washing and drying, gently re-iron the pleats on a low heat setting, ensuring the fabric is slightly damp. Iron from the top down, holding each pleat in place.

The skirt feels uncomfortable or doesn't fit quite right at the waist.

While the waistband is elasticated and the skirt is true to size, ensure you've selected the correct size. If between sizes, consider your personal comfort preference for waist fit. The fabric has 3% elastane for some give.

Fabric appears creased or wrinkled after wear/wash.

Polyester is generally wrinkle-resistant, but if creases occur, a light steaming or ironing on a low setting (inside out) will smooth them out. Avoid high heat.
