Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Ensure the dress is ironed on a medium heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steam iron.

Broderie anglaise threads look pulled

Avoid snagging the fabric on rough surfaces. If a thread is pulled, carefully try to tuck it back into the embroidery using a fine needle.

Belt is difficult to tie securely

Ensure the belt is threaded through the loops correctly and tie a firm knot. The fabric's natural grip should help maintain the tie.

Pockets are not deep enough

The pockets are designed for light essentials like keys or a small cardholder. For larger items, a bag is recommended.
