Ensure you have checked the size guide and measurements before purchasing. As this is a petite fit, confirm it matches your height proportions.
Pleats have lost their sharpness.
Follow the care instructions for professional pressing or use a cool iron with a pressing cloth on the reverse side. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, which can disrupt pleats.
