Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after wear.

Linen blends are prone to wrinkling. Hang the dress on a padded hanger after wearing. For significant wrinkles, use a cool iron on the reverse side or consider professional steaming.

Buckle on the tab waist is difficult to fasten.

Ensure the tab is aligned correctly before attempting to fasten the buckle. If stiffness persists, check for any fabric obstructions in the buckle mechanism.

Dress feels stiff or has lost its drape.

This could be due to improper cleaning. Ensure you are following the 'dry clean only' instruction. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, which can alter the fabric's texture and structure.
