Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage

Gently steam the garment on a low setting or have it professionally dry cleaned and pressed. Avoid direct ironing on high heat.

Fabric feels stiff or loses shape

Ensure the dress is dry cleaned only. Avoid washing with water, which can alter the structure of the crepe. Store on a hanger.

Fit is not quite right

Consult a professional tailor for alterations. The structured nature of the fabric allows for professional adjustments to achieve a perfect fit.
