How do you put pleats back in skirts?

To put pleats back in skirts, first, identify the original fold lines and press them with an iron on a low heat setting, using a damp cloth to protect the fabric. If the pleats are more stubborn, you can use fabric starch for added hold. Pin the pleats in place while they cool to help maintain the shape. Finally, sew along the top of the pleats to secure them if necessary.
