Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight in the bodice.

Ensure the dress is fastened correctly. The boned bodice offers structure and may require slight adjustment for comfort. Consider consulting a tailor for minor alterations if needed.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a low heat setting, focusing on the reverse side of the fabric. Alternatively, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period.

Straps are uncomfortable.

Adjust the straps if they are adjustable. For significant discomfort, consult a tailor for strap modification or replacement.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and shape of the dress, it is recommended to follow specific care guidelines. Given the cotton poplin material and boned bodice, dry cleaning is typically the preferred method. If hand washing is attempted, use cool water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh wringing. Lay flat to dry. Iron on a low setting, preferably on the reverse side, to avoid damaging the fabric or embellishments. Store the dress on a padded hanger to prevent creasing.
