Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight
The stretch fabrication offers some give. Ensure you are wearing the correct size. For minor tightness, allow the fabric to naturally adapt with wear.
Bow detail looks creased
Consult professional dry cleaners for best results. If minor creasing occurs, a very cool iron can be used on the underside of the bow, with a protective cloth. Avoid direct high heat.
Fabric appears dull after wear
Ensure the dress is dry cleaned according to instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can affect fabric finish.
