Troubleshooting
Dress appears to have lost its shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended machine wash settings (cold water, gentle cycle) and avoid high heat during drying. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry if possible.
Shirring seems stretched or less elastic.
Avoid excessive stretching of the shirred area. Ensure you are not ironing directly on the shirred sections and are using a low heat setting. Proper washing and drying are key to maintaining elasticity.
