Troubleshooting

Dress arrives creased

As dry-clean only, take it to a professional dry cleaner for steaming. Avoid ironing at home.

Fabric feels stiff

This may be due to the polyamide content. Ensure proper dry cleaning. Over time and with correct care, the fabric should soften.

Pattern alignment seems off on arrival

Inspect the garment closely for any manufacturing defects. The asymmetric design means patterns might not align perfectly across seams, which is part of its unique style. If significantly misaligned, contact the retailer.
