Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their definition
Ensure the skirt is dry cleaned by a reputable service that specializes in delicate fabrics. Avoid machine washing or high-heat ironing, which can flatten the pleats.
Fabric snagging
Be mindful of jewelry, accessories, and rough surfaces that could catch the delicate chiffon. Store carefully in a garment bag.
Tie-waist sash not staying in place
Ensure the sash is tied securely, potentially using a double knot if needed. The ruched waist should provide enough grip, but a secure tie is essential.
Skirt appears wrinkled after storage
Use a garment steamer on a low setting, holding it a safe distance from the fabric. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron.
