The Pettiskirt is the latest “must have” item of the season for any fashionable girl. With many styles and colors to choose from and numerous designer brands, you’re sure to find the perfect skirt for your little girl. But once she has found what she is looking for, how does she care for it so that it will last for years to come?
Now that the holidays are here, everyone is looking for the perfect outfit for the holiday season and the Pettiskirt is definitely going to be a show this season.
Some designers have even made holiday-themed pettiskirts with red and white or red and green as the color choice for this holiday season. So be sure to check out each designer’s styles because each one has a different selection and you want to make sure you find the style that works best for your little girl. Some designer names to choose from are Belle Ame, Kaiya Eve, Oopsy Daisy, and Posh Pettiskirt. Each designer has a slightly different take on this timeless, vintage-inspired skirt.
Once you choose your favorite and make your purchase, the first question you can ask yourself is “How do I clean this beautiful Pettiskirt?”. Here are some tips for best results to keep your skirt in excellent condition for years to come. The first recommendation would be to wash the skirt by hand in cold water and hang to dry. If your skirt gets wrinkled, you can either shake it out and let it dry or lightly steam the skirt to remove the wrinkles. Be very careful though if you steam the Pettiskirt to prevent the skirt from getting too hot and not to melt the chiffon in the heat. Your little girl is sure to get a lot of wear and tear in this skirt before she needs a good cleaning and she can always clean it with cold water if it gets dirty.
The other question that may cross your mind is “How do I store my petticoat?” Since the Pettiskirt is so fluffy and full, this can be a challenging task. I would try to avoid hanging the skirt on a hanger because chiffon fabric is delicate and could catch on the hanger attached to it. The safest and most convenient storage method is to place it in a cotton or satin bag. The skirts can easily fit into a medium sized bag (a suggestion would be an old sleeping bag storage bag) and this will protect it from potential snags or tears during storage. If the skirt has a satin yoke and satin ribbon like most of them, this part of the skirt can be ironed with a hot iron, however be very careful as the hot iron will melt the chiffon.
The Pettiskirt is sure to be a favorite of you and your daughters for years to come. The skirts are so full and fluffy and have an elastic waist that you can definitely wear just one skirt for a few years.
