Troubleshooting
Skirt has developed creases
Gently steam the affected area on the reverse side of the fabric or consult a professional dry cleaner. Avoid direct, high heat ironing.
Zipper is sticking
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil applied to the teeth might help, but proceed with caution. Professional assistance may be needed.
Fabric appears dull or loses sheen
This can be a result of improper cleaning or storage. Stick strictly to recommended care instructions, preferably professional dry cleaning, and store in a dust bag away from light.
