Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after washing.
Iron on a low heat setting inside out, using a pressing cloth. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before ironing.
Embroidery threads seem pulled or snagged.
Gently try to smooth the threads. Avoid snagging the fabric on sharp objects. If severely damaged, professional repair may be needed.
Dress loses its shape.
Ensure proper drying methods (lay flat) are used. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Store folded rather than on a hanger to maintain the silhouette.
