Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to move.

Gently work the exposed metal zipper up and down. Ensure there are no fabric snags. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or zipper lubricant can be applied carefully to the teeth.

Corset feels too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the dress was zipped correctly, starting from the bottom. The boning is designed for structure; however, if discomfort is significant, the dress may not be the correct size or fit for your body shape. Consider trying a different size if available.

Fabric has lost its sheen or print is faded.

This can occur with improper care. Always follow dry clean only instructions and avoid direct heat or prolonged sun exposure.

Pockets are not laying flat.

Ensure items placed in the pockets are not too bulky. Occasionally, the pocket lining may shift during wear; smooth it out gently.
