Troubleshooting
Dress does not drape correctly
Ensure the dress is hung properly on a suitable hanger. Check for any internal tags or ties that need to be adjusted. Gentle steaming can help relax the fabric.
Creases are difficult to remove
Consult the care label. Professional dry cleaning is often recommended for tailored garments. If hand washing is permitted, ensure thorough rinsing and proper drying methods. Use a cool iron with a pressing cloth if necessary.
Colour bleed during cleaning
