Troubleshooting
Dress does not hang correctly
Ensure the dress is hanging freely for at least 24 hours after unpacking to allow the fabric to settle. Check care label for specific steaming or ironing instructions.
Cape appears creased
Gently steam the cape on a low setting, ensuring the iron does not directly touch the fabric. Alternatively, hang the garment in a steamy bathroom.
Side split feels restrictive
The split is designed for movement. Ensure you are wearing appropriate undergarments that do not interfere with the split's drape. If the fit is exceptionally tight, consider a professional tailor for minor adjustments.
