I bought an expensive (c.£500) embroidered designer skirt for my birthday this weekend. I've worn it for approximately three hours at a posh country house hotel for 'morning coffee' and the drive there and back. I don't have snaggable jewellery, and I have short manicured nails. But upon removing the skirt I noticed that about 12 of the flowers had loose threads/ unwound completely / the thread split / etc... which maybe doesn't sound a lot but given I did nothing but sit in the - very expensive - skirt I'm rather cross. I can only think that it's so fragile that even the friction caused by normal sitting / getting up and down caused this damage.
I think I'm going to be laughed at to be honest. But does anyone have any helpful suggestions? It was a 'big' birthday and I rarely spend this much money, I'm so sad that this skirt feels barely wearable now :(
