How can I keep my A-line skirts to not lose its A-line style?

Question

I have two A-line skirts, and love A-lines because the way it shows my legs off.

A. My A-line skirt, which is actually an A-line dress, cannot go in the dryer. After wash, it must air dry.

B. My A-line skirt, which is a skirt, CAN go in the dryer. But am also willing to air dry that also if need it be.

I am not able to find crinoline/petticoat in my area thrift stores, and I looked on amazon.com, but seems a bit high, and was not able to make my own successfully, so that is out.

Any ideas on how my skirt and the skirt part of the dress to NOT go flat after washing would be of great help. Thanks! ( they both have already gone flat after its first washes).

Answer 1

Depending on what type of material it is. There were skirt hangers that you air dry when used and it keeps the shape. I don't know if they still have them. Can you iron the fabric? A hot steam iron might keep the shape when you iron it. It has been a long time since i have worn an A-line skirt or dress that i needed to keep the shape. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Best bet would be to hand wash them and  hang them to air dry, then iron the outside, then the INSIDE to keep crisp but not flat.

and do NOT create any sort of a crease because that will make it look more flat

Answer 3

I would suggest you either hand wash them,or put them in the washer alone on the "delicate" cycle,and hang to air dry..Don't put them in the dryer..If needed iron in low heat....: )
