Troubleshooting
Creasing in the fabric
Hang the dress and allow creases to fall out naturally, or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Consider professional steaming if creases are stubborn.
Wrap tie becoming loose
Ensure the tie is securely fastened initially. If it continues to loosen, a small, discreet stitch can be added to hold it in place without compromising the wrap effect.
Satin lapels losing sheen
Avoid direct heat and harsh chemicals. Professional dry cleaning is the safest method to maintain the satin's finish.
Dress appearing slightly wrinkled after storage
Allow the dress to hang for a day or two before wearing. Gentle steaming can also help remove minor wrinkles.
