Troubleshooting
Skirt feels too tight or uncomfortable around the waist.
The skirt features an elasticated waist and stretch fabric, designed to be comfortable. If it feels too tight, double-check that you've selected your correct size, as the product is 'True to size'. Ensure it's worn at your natural waist for optimal comfort.
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled.
While polyester blends are generally wrinkle-resistant, minor creasing can occur. Gently steam the skirt or iron on a low heat setting, inside out, to smooth out wrinkles. Hanging it immediately after washing can also help.
Print looks dull or faded after washing.
Ensure you are following the 'Machine Washable' instructions, using a gentle cycle, cold water, and a mild detergent. Washing with harsh chemicals or at high temperatures can impact fabric dyes over time.
Skirt doesn't hang properly or loses shape.
After washing, ensure the skirt is dried flat or hung properly to maintain its shape. Avoid over-stretching when wet. Storing it on a suitable hanger can also prevent distortion.
Pilling or bobbling appears on the fabric surface.
Pilling can sometimes occur with synthetic blends due to friction. To minimize this, wash inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, a fabric shaver or lint remover can be used carefully to restore the surface.
