Learn how to wash, dry, and store your 100% cotton drill Patch Pocket Skirt Flames to keep it looking sizzling hot for years.
Quick Answer
Wash your 100% cotton drill Patch Pocket Skirt Flames inside out in cold water, line dry, and iron on the reverse side to preserve the print and shape.
Why Cotton Drill Needs Special Care
100% cotton drill is a sturdy, tightly woven fabric that holds its shape well but can shrink or fade if treated roughly. The Patch Pocket Skirt Flames features a vibrant flame print that benefits from gentle handling to keep the colors bright.
Step-by-Step Care Instructions
- Wash Inside Out on Cold: Turn the skirt inside out and machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent. Common mistake: washing with hot water or heavy agitation can fade the flame print and cause slight shrinkage.
- Line Dry Away from Direct Sun: Hang the skirt to dry on a clothesline or drying rack. Avoid the dryer entirely. Common mistake: tumble drying can shrink the cotton drill and weaken the invisible zip. If you must speed up drying, lay the skirt flat on a towel in a well-ventilated area.
- Iron on the Reverse Side: Iron the skirt on the inside (reverse side) using a medium-hot setting. This protects the flame print from direct heat. Common mistake: ironing directly on the print can scorch or dull the colors.
Product Facts
- PATCH POCKET Skirt Flames: Made from fairtrade certified organic cotton with pockets. The organic cotton is softer on the environment and your skin, but the no-stretch weave means you should avoid high heat that could distort the fabric.
