Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased after washing
Ensure the garment is ironed on a low setting while slightly damp, or use a steamer to remove creases effectively. Air drying flat can also help minimize wrinkling.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to move
Gently check the fabric around the zipper for any snags. Apply a small amount of lubricant, such as graphite from a pencil or a tiny bit of wax, to the zipper teeth and carefully work the zipper up and down.
Dress does not drape as expected
Verify that the care instructions have been followed correctly, as improper washing or drying can affect the fabric's natural drape. Ensure the garment is hung properly when not in use.
