Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their sharpness
Ensure the skirt is washed according to care instructions and avoid excessive heat when drying. Iron on a low setting if necessary, focusing on the pleat lines.
Stains not washing out easily
Treat stains promptly before washing. Refer to specific care labels for recommended stain removal agents suitable for polyester blends.
Waistband feels too loose or tight
For younger children, the pull-on style offers a comfortable fit. For older children, ensure the correct size is selected, and the zip and button are fastened correctly. This model has a fixed waistband and does not typically have adjustable internal tabs.
