Troubleshooting
Skirt appears wrinkled after storage.
Hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct heat.
Belt is difficult to fasten.
Ensure the buckle prongs are correctly aligned with the holes. Check for any obstructions in the buckle mechanism.
Fabric feels rough or loses texture.
This is characteristic of tweed. Ensure you are following the 'Dry Clean Only' instruction to avoid damaging the weave.
Front split feels too restrictive.
The split is designed for ease of movement. If it feels significantly restrictive, ensure you are not overstretching the fabric. Consider the footwear height as this can affect how the split sits.
