Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage
Gently steam the garment on a low setting, focusing on the reverse side. Alternatively, professional dry cleaning can help restore the fabric's drape.
Cape detail is not lying flat
Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a suitable hanger. A light steam can help the fabric relax into its intended shape.
Fabric feels stiff after cleaning
Ensure dry cleaning was performed according to the label. If hand-washed (not recommended), use cool water and a minimal amount of mild detergent, and lay flat to dry.
