Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit as expected

Refer to the size guide and ensure the UK size 8 measurements align with your own. The tailored fit may require alterations for a perfect custom fit.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Gently steam the dress or iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side, following care label instructions. Avoid direct high heat on the patterned areas.
