Troubleshooting
Dress does not hang as expected
Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a padded hanger. Check for any creasing from packaging and allow the fabric to relax. Ensure you are wearing the correct size.
Cape detail appears uneven
Gently adjust the drape of the cape. Ensure the garment is laid flat when not being worn to maintain its intended shape.
