Troubleshooting
Dress does not hang as expected.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate undergarments that do not disrupt the dress's intended silhouette. Check if the dress was stored folded for an extended period; hanging it for a few days may help creases fall out.
Satin fabric feels stiff.
Satin twill is naturally structured. If it feels excessively stiff, ensure it has been properly dry cleaned according to instructions. Allow the garment to hang freely to soften slightly.
Side slit feels too high or too low.
The slit is designed for dramatic effect. Consider the footwear and undergarments you are using, as these can influence how the slit appears when worn. For minor adjustments, consult a professional tailor.
