Troubleshooting
Dress feels restrictive or tight around certain areas.
The Karina crepe fabric has `little stretch`. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements. If between sizes, consider sizing up. Avoid vigorous movements that might strain seams.
Rear zipper is difficult to fasten or gets stuck.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric taut on either side of the zipper while pulling the tab. Lubricating the zipper with a pencil lead can sometimes help, but use sparingly and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Dress appears wrinkled after storage or transport.
Hang the dress immediately upon arrival or after storage. Use a garment steamer to gently remove wrinkles. If using an iron, ensure it's on a very low heat setting and use a pressing cloth over the fabric.
The shoulder bow loses its shape or looks flat.
Gently fluff and arrange the bow manually to restore its desired shape. Avoid crushing it during storage. Light steaming can help the fabric of the bow regain volume.

> Info needed: Specific washing instructions (e.g., hand wash, dry clean, machine wash cold delicate). Always refer to the garment's care label for precise instructions.
General care for polyester crepe includes:
- Washing: Typically, dry cleaning is recommended for crepe fabrics to preserve their drape and finish. If machine washing is permitted by the care label, use a cold, delicate cycle with a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry by laying flat or hanging on a padded hanger to maintain shape. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage polyester and alter the fabric's drape.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out or with a pressing cloth, to avoid damaging the matte finish. Steaming is often a gentler alternative for removing wrinkles.
