Troubleshooting
Pilling on knit fabric
Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Prevent future pilling by washing inside out and avoiding abrasive surfaces.
Sheer detail appears snagged
Carefully try to smooth the snagged area. Avoid tight jewelry or rough surfaces that could catch the sheer fabric.
Dress loses shape after washing
Ensure proper drying methods are used, specifically laying flat to air dry. Avoid hanging when wet, as this can cause stretching.
