Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after washing.
Iron on a low heat setting immediately after washing or while slightly damp. For stubborn creases, consider professional dry cleaning.
Gold buckle loses shine.
Gently polish the buckle with a soft, dry cloth. For more significant tarnishing, use a specialized metal polish suitable for gold-plated items, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Fabric feels stiff after drying.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid harsh detergents. If hand washing, a mild fabric softener can be used sparingly.
