Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing
Iron on a low heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp, or use a steamer. Ensure the dress is fully dry before storing.
Smocked bodice feels too tight or too loose
The smocking is designed to stretch. If it feels restrictive, ensure you are not pulling it excessively. If it feels loose, it may indicate the wrong size was chosen, or the elastic has lost tension over time.
Lace detailing snagged
Carefully attempt to unpick the snag with a fine needle. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary. Handle with care to prevent future snags.
