Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit as expected.

Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements. Ensure measurements are taken correctly before selecting a size. As this is a specific size (18 UK), consider tailoring options if minor adjustments are needed.

Creasing in the fabric.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period to allow steam to relax minor creases. For more stubborn wrinkles, consult a professional dry cleaner for appropriate pressing techniques.

Straps feel insecure.

Adjust the thin straps to their tightest comfortable setting. If further security is needed, consider using fashion tape or consulting a tailor for minor alterations.
