Quick Answer
To keep your PATCH POCKET Skirt Octopus looking its best, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle, hang it to dry, and style it with simple tops that let the octopus print shine.
Why Cotton Drill Needs Special Attention
Cotton drill is a sturdy, tightly woven fabric that softens with each wash. Because the PATCH POCKET Skirt Octopus is 100% cotton with no stretch, it will hold its A-line shape best when you follow a few simple care steps.
The skirt features an invisible zip at the back. Always close the zip before washing to prevent it from catching on the fabric or other items in the load.
Step-by-Step Care and Styling Guide
- Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Turn the skirt inside out, close the invisible zip, and machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid hot water, which can shrink cotton drill and fade the print. Check the care label first—if it recommends hand washing, follow that instead.
- Hang to dry away from direct sunlight: Hang the skirt on a padded hanger or clothesline in the shade. Direct sunlight can fade the octopus print over time. Avoid tumble drying, which can cause shrinkage and wrinkles. Never wring out the skirt—gently press out excess water with a towel.
- Iron on medium heat while slightly damp: If the skirt needs pressing, iron on the reverse side with a medium heat setting while the fabric is still slightly damp. Avoid ironing directly over the print to prevent damage. Use a pressing cloth if you must iron the front.
- Style with simple tops to let the print shine: Pair the skirt with a plain white or black tee, a denim jacket, or a neutral knit. The octopus print is the focal point, so keep other pieces minimal. For a dressier look, add a solid blouse and sandals. Try a tucked-in top to highlight the high waist and pockets.
