Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to fasten
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper up while holding the fabric taut. If resistance persists, check for any obstructions or damage to the zipper teeth.
Boucle texture appears matted
This can sometimes occur after washing or wear. Try a gentle steam to lift the fibers, or use a soft-bristled brush to carefully brush the texture back to its original state. Avoid excessive heat.
Skirt feels tight despite correct size
The pencil fit is designed to be tailored. If movement is restricted, consider the side split's role. For a looser fit, sizing up may be an option, but it will alter the intended silhouette.
