Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch-infused fabric offers some give, but the tailored fit is designed to be snug. Consider if the chosen size is appropriate for your comfort needs during extended wear.
Creasing after storage or travel
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Professional dry cleaning can also help to press out stubborn creases.
Colour transfer or fading
Adhere strictly to the 'dry clean only' instruction. Washing with water or harsh detergents can lead to colour loss or transfer.
