Bought a really nice skirt from Ali.

It’s accordion pleats all around, but it’s also terribly creased too. Looks very bad.

They don’t come out!

I tried washing it & hanging to dry

Steaming it helped a drop

Any tips would be most appreciated!

Thx

Won’t the accordion pleats get ironed too?

Pin them into place first.

Steam it holding each pleat and pull them once it’s steamed

I’ll try that. Wow.
So much work for a good bargain.

I would wash it again and put in the dryer for 5 minutes (but don't forget! Set a timer.) And then hang it right away. It usually does the trick for me.

I had no luck in such a case with a bargain and it wasn't worthwhile

If all else fails, send it to the dry cleaners.
