It's the material.
Always iron inside out.

The iron breaks down the fabric the more you use it, and it eventually turns it shiny, especially suit fabric and uniform skirts

The iron was too hot. Use a lower setting and/or a press cloth between the fabric and the iron.

This makes so much sense ty!! Cuz I used the iron yesterday with no issues but havent taken out her uniforms in 3 months so makes sense that they were starting to wear down at that point of the year...
