Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage

Gently steam the dress on a low setting, ensuring the steamer is not too close to the fabric. If persistent, professional dry cleaning with pressing may be required.

Embroidery threads appear pulled

Do not pull at the thread. Carefully snip any stray threads with small, sharp scissors. For significant pulling, consult a professional tailor or seamstress.

Fabric feels stiff

This is characteristic of organdie. Ensure it has been stored properly and has adequate air circulation. Avoid over-starch or harsh detergents if ever hand-washing (though dry clean is recommended).
