Troubleshooting

Dress doesn't drape as expected.

Ensure the dress is hung correctly and has had time to relax after packaging. Hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry; do not wring. Consider using a steamer to gently release fabric tension.

Lace trim appears snagged or pulled.

Handle with extreme care. Gently try to smooth the snagged area with your fingertips. Avoid catching the lace on jewelry or rough surfaces. If a small snag persists, consult a professional tailor specializing in delicate fabrics.

Button closure at the neck is difficult to fasten.

Ensure the button loop is properly aligned with the button. If stiff, gently work the loop over the button. Avoid pulling forcefully, which could damage the fabric around the closure.
