Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after washing

Ensure the dress is ironed on a low heat setting while damp or use a pressing cloth with steam. Dry cleaning is recommended for best results.

Fabric feels stiff

This is normal for a linen blend and indicates the fabric's structure. It will soften with wear and proper care. Avoid harsh detergents or over-washing.

Gold hardware loses shine

Gently polish the hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners which can damage the finish.
