Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage

Gently steam the dress on a cool setting, ironing only on the reverse side. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before wearing.

Fit around the bodice feels too restrictive

Consider the use of specialized shapewear or ensure the correct size has been selected. As a structured garment, a snug fit is intended, but comfort is key for extended wear.

Side slit is too high or too low

Consult a professional tailor for alterations. The slit can often be adjusted to your preference for modest or dramatic effect.
