Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled or creased upon arrival.
Gently steam the dress using a garment steamer. If a steamer is not available, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or carefully iron on a very low setting on the reverse side with a pressing cloth.
The dress doesn't seem to fit quite right.
Double-check your measurements against the brand's petite sizing guide. Since this dress is specially proportioned for petite frames, ensuring you selected the correct petite size is key. For minor adjustments, consult a professional tailor.
Satin fabric has a snag or pull.
Satin is delicate. Handle the dress with care, avoiding contact with rough surfaces, sharp objects, or jewelry that might snag the fabric. For existing snags, gently try to ease the thread back into place with a fine needle from the reverse side, if possible. Do not cut loose threads unless absolutely necessary and with extreme caution.
The drape doesn't sit correctly.
Ensure the dress is worn correctly on the shoulder. Sometimes minor adjustments to the dress's position on the body can help the drape fall naturally. If persistent, check for any stitching issues or consult professional advice.
