Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit correctly

Refer to the sizing chart and compare measurements carefully. Consider if the corset-inspired silhouette requires specific undergarments for optimal fit.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Gently steam the garment on a low setting or have it professionally pressed. Ensure it is hung properly to prevent future creasing.
