Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage

Hang the dress and allow it to air for a day, or use a steamer on a low setting. If necessary, iron on a low heat on the reverse side.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

Ensure the dry cleaning process was appropriate for the fabric. Airing the garment might help restore softness. Avoid home washing, which can damage the fabric.

Ruffle detail is not laying as expected

Gently reshape the ruffle by hand while the dress is on a hanger. Professional steaming can also help restore its intended drape.
