Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or iron inside out with a pressing cloth. Ensure it is fully dry before wearing or storing.

Fit is too tight in certain areas

Consider having the dress tailored for a custom fit. Ensure correct sizing was selected based on measurements.
