Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage.
Hang the dress and allow it to naturally de-crease, or use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth. Professional dry cleaning can also help remove stubborn creases.
Fabric feels stiff or loses shape.
Ensure the garment is being cared for according to the dry clean only instructions. Avoid washing or high heat, which can damage polyester fibers.
