Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it up and down. If resistance persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) to the zipper teeth.
Fabric appears dull after cleaning
The shiny effect may be affected by improper washing or drying. Ensure you are hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry. Ironing inside out on a low heat setting may help restore sheen.
Buttons feel loose
If buttons feel loose, it is recommended to seek professional tailoring services to re-secure them to prevent loss.
