Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or have it professionally pressed on a cool setting.
Cornelli embellishment appears loose or snagged.
Do not attempt to repair yourself. Take the dress to a professional tailor or seamstress experienced with delicate embellishments.
Pockets are not lying flat.
Ensure the pocket lining is smoothed out when wearing the dress. The structure of the taffeta should help them lie flat.
