Troubleshooting
Dress is creased upon arrival.
Gently steam the dress on a cool setting, or hang it in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct high heat.
Fit is not as expected despite petite sizing.
Consult the brand's specific size chart for precise measurements. Petite fits can vary; consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments to length or fit.
