Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled
Gently steam the skirt on a low setting or have it professionally dry cleaned and pressed. Avoid direct ironing on high heat.
Skirt does not hang as expected
Ensure the skirt is properly fastened and that you are wearing appropriate undergarments. The tailored fit is designed to contour, so ensure it is sitting correctly on the waist.
Color seems faded after washing
This is likely due to improper washing. Always follow the recommended dry-clean-only instruction for silk garments to preserve color vibrancy.
Front split seems too high or too low
The position of the front split is a design feature. If it is not to your preference, consider minor alterations by a tailor, though this may affect the original design intent.
