Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive despite being my usual size.
This dress has 'little' stretch, meaning it's designed for a precise fit. Double-check your measurements against the brand's specific size guide. If the fit is very snug, consider exchanging for a larger size if available and within return policy, or consult a professional tailor for minor, safe adjustments.
The satin fabric appears wrinkled or creased easily.
Satin can be prone to wrinkling. Hang the dress immediately upon receiving it. For minor creases, try hanging the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes. For deeper wrinkles, use a garment steamer on a low setting, or iron on the lowest heat setting inside out with a pressing cloth.
The concealed zip is difficult to fasten or gets stuck.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper as you try to move it. If it's still sticking, you can rub a graphite pencil or a dry bar of soap along the zipper teeth to lubric lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper to prevent damage.
Dress appears dull or has lost its sheen after cleaning.
Satin is a delicate fabric that requires careful cleaning. If you've washed it yourself, ensure you used cold water, a gentle detergent, and avoided harsh scrubbing or wringing. For best results, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the fabric's luster and integrity.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your premium soft satin dress, follow these care guidelines:
- Professional Dry Cleaning Recommended: For best results and to preserve the delicate satin fabric, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.
- Gentle Hand Washing (Optional, if permitted): If hand washing, use cold water with a mild, gentle detergent. Do not wring, twist, or scrub the fabric vigorously.
- Drying: After washing, gently press out excess water without twisting. Lay the dress flat on a clean, dry towel or hang on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not tumble dry.
