Are there any specific accessories recommended to enhance the costume?

Troubleshooting

Costume components do not fit as expected.

Refer to the sizing chart provided with the product. Ensure you have selected the correct size (1X-6X). If the fit is still problematic, consider minor alterations or pairing with different undergarments for a better silhouette.

Lace dickey is difficult to secure or looks uneven.

Gently adjust the dickey and ensure it is properly tucked into the jacket's neckline. Some variations may have small fasteners; check for these. Ensure the jacket is buttoned correctly before positioning the dickey.

Velour or velvet fabric appears creased upon arrival.

Hang the costume in a steamy bathroom for a short period to release minor creases. Alternatively, use a steamer on a low setting from a distance, or iron on the lowest heat setting with a protective cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Color transfer from red jacket to other garments.

While rare, avoid prolonged contact with light-colored items, especially when the costume is damp. Pre-wash delicate areas if concerned, but follow care instructions closely to avoid damaging the fabric.
