The print

Step into a vibrant tapestry of nature with the Wildflower print, where colourful unidentified blooms paint an enchanting picture of untamed beauty. This print is a celebration of the diverse and vivid wildflowers that grace the Australian landscape, inviting you to embrace the kaleidoscope of hues found in the heart of nature. "Wildflower" captures the essence of Australia's flora in a lively display, each petal and stem telling a story of the untethered and unpredictable. This print is more than a visual feast; it's a wearable homage to the ever-changing canvas of the Australian wilderness.

Adorn yourself with the hues of Wildflower, and let each garment be a statement of the wild, free-spirited beauty that thrives in the heart of the Australian landscape.

Caring for your beautiful pleated skirt

This fabric boasts a super soft, flowing texture and a smooth finish, ensuring both comfort and style. To maintain the pristine appearance and longevity of your pleated skirt, please follow these care instructions:

Washing

Hand Wash or Machine Wash: Polyester is generally machine washable. You can either hand wash it or use a washing machine. Select a gentle cycle.

Machine Washing:

• Use Cold Water: Set the washing machine to a cold or cool water temperature. Hot water can damage the pleats.
• Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent to protect the fabric's colour and quality.
• Turn Inside Out: To protect the pleats and the surface of the skirt, turn it inside out before placing it in the machine.
• Use a Laundry Bag: Placing the skirt inside a mesh laundry bag can further prevent damage.
• Avoid Overloading: Don't overload the machine to ensure the skirt has enough room to move freely.

Hand Washing:

• Fill a Basin: Fill a basin or sink with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent.
• Submerge and Swirl: Submerge the skirt in the water and gently swirl it around. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
• Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the skirt with cold water until all detergent is removed.

Drying:

• Do Not Wring: Never wring out the pleated skirt, as this can damage the pleats. Instead, gently press the excess water out by pressing it between clean, dry towels.
• Hang or Lay Flat: Hang the skirt by the waistband or lay it flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Ensure it's in its natural shape, so the pleats remain intact.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Don't expose the skirt to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as it can lead to colour fading.

Ironing:

• Low Heat: If the pleats become flattened after washing, use a low heat setting on your iron (synthetic or polyester setting) to gently steam or press the pleats back into place. Ensure the skirt is dry before ironing.
• Use a Cloth: To avoid direct contact between the iron and the skirt, place a clean cloth or pressing cloth over the pleats while ironing.

By following these care instructions, you can maintain the appearance and quality of your pleated skirt made of 100% recycled polyester with permanent set pleats.
