Troubleshooting

Costume does not fit as expected.

Double-check the child's measurements against the provided size guide (Waist 23.5-24.5", Chest 27-28.5", Height 52-57"). If significantly off, consider if a different size is needed or if adjustments can be made.

Fabric appears creased after storage.

Gently iron the tailcoat on a low heat setting, using a pressing cloth if necessary, to avoid damaging the material. Alternatively, hang the costume in a steamy bathroom for a short period.

Seam appears loose.

For minor loose seams, a few stitches with a needle and thread can secure the area. For significant damage, professional repair might be necessary.
