Troubleshooting
Dress does not fit correctly.
Consult a professional tailor for alterations. The UK size 18 may require adjustments to length or fit for optimal comfort and appearance.
Pleats appear flattened or distorted.
Attempt to carefully reshape the pleats by hand. If necessary, use a garment steamer on a very low setting, ensuring the steamer is not held too close to the fabric. Professional steaming or dry cleaning may be required.
Satin fabric has snags.
For minor snags, you can try gently pulling the snagged thread to the reverse side of the fabric using a fine needle. Avoid pulling too hard. For significant snags, professional repair may be needed.
Dress loses its shape after cleaning.
Ensure the dress was dry cleaned according to instructions. If shape loss is significant, a professional restyling or tailoring service might be able to restore it.

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you select the correct size (UK 18 in this instance) for the best fit.

Care Instructions:
