Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased

Follow the recommended cool iron setting, ideally on the reverse side of the fabric, or consider professional dry cleaning for best results.

Wool feels itchy

High-quality wool can sometimes feel initially stiff. Wearing a fine layer underneath, such as a slip or camisole, can improve comfort. The fabric often softens after a few wears.

Discoloration after cleaning

Ensure you are following the 'Dry Clean Only' instruction precisely. Using incorrect cleaning methods or harsh chemicals can lead to discoloration. Consult a professional dry cleaner if unsure.
