Troubleshooting

Dress not hanging as expected

Ensure the dress is hung on a padded hanger to maintain its shape, especially the skirt. Check if it's been stored folded for an extended period, which might cause temporary creasing.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

This can sometimes happen with compact stretch fabrics. Ensure you are following the gentle wash and cold water instructions. Avoid high heat drying, as this can alter the fabric's texture. If needed, a gentle steam can help restore softness.

Colour bleeding during wash

Always wash with similar colours in cold water on a gentle cycle. If significant colour bleeding occurs, refer to the care label and consider professional dry cleaning for future washes.
