Troubleshooting

Gently steam the garment on a low heat setting, focusing on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct ironing on delicate areas. Alternatively, professional dry cleaning can often resolve stubborn creases.
Fabric sheen seems dull.
Ensure the garment has been cleaned according to care instructions. Sometimes, residue from incorrect washing agents can affect the sheen. Professional dry cleaning may restore its luster.
Pleated panels have lost their definition.
