What material is the skirt made of?

Troubleshooting
Skirt not fitting correctly
Adjust the internal waist adjuster for a tighter or looser fit. If significant adjustment is needed, consider if a different size is more appropriate.
Pleats losing shape after washing
Ensure the skirt is washed according to care instructions. For best results, iron while damp on a medium heat setting, paying attention to the pleats. Using a fabric stiffener can also help maintain pleat crispness.
Stains not coming out easily
While stain-resistant, some heavy or set-in stains may require pre-treatment. Apply a mild stain remover before washing, following the product's instructions and the skirt's care label.
Zip is difficult to use
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Gently move the zip up and down. If the zip continues to be stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zip teeth.
