Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the size guide. The compact stretch fabric offers some give, but a proper fit from the start is essential.
Hardware appears dull or tarnished
Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, and excessive moisture. If tarnishing occurs, consult a professional cleaner specializing in delicate garments and hardware.
Fabric wrinkles easily despite claims
Try steaming the garment on a low setting or hanging it in a steamy bathroom. For stubborn wrinkles, a cool iron on the reverse side may be used carefully.
Split feels too high or revealing
