Troubleshooting
Dress does not fit as expected
Ensure you have consulted the size guide and confirmed your measurements. As this is a petite fit, it may be best suited for individuals within a specific height range.
Pattern appears faded after washing
Check the care label for specific washing instructions. Wash inside out in cold water and avoid harsh detergents. Consider air drying instead of tumble drying.
Shirring feels too tight or too loose
