Troubleshooting

Pleats losing their crisp shape

Avoid overloading the washing machine and hang dry immediately after the cycle to allow gravity to restore the shape.

Waistband feels too loose after extended use

Ensure you are washing in cold water only; high heat can degrade the elastic properties of the fabric blend.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This skort is designed to be a standard athletic fit and follows UK sizing conventions. To ensure longevity and performance:

  • Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle to preserve the pleats.
  • Drying: Avoid tumble drying; hang dry in a shaded area to maintain fabric integrity and prevent the reflective accents from peeling.
  • Ironing: If needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side. Do not iron directly over the reflective elements.
  • Storage: Hang the skort on a skirt hanger to ensure the pleats do not lose their shape while stored in your closet.
