Troubleshooting
Skirt feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch fabric offers some give, but for a looser fit, consider sizing up. Avoid over-drying the garment, as this can sometimes reduce fabric elasticity.
Contrast tipping appears uneven after washing
Gently reshape the tipping while the garment is damp. Iron on a low setting according to care instructions. If the issue persists, consult professional garment care services.
Side split gapes open too much
Adjust the position of the split by subtly re-stitching it slightly higher if preferred, or ensure the skirt is not too tight, which can exaggerate the split.
