Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight/loose in the bodice.
The shirred bodice is designed to offer some flexibility. If it feels significantly off, ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor adjustments, consider the type of undergarments worn.
Puff sleeves feel too voluminous.
While the puff sleeves are a design feature, if they feel overwhelming, try tucking the sleeves slightly or pairing with a structured jacket to balance the silhouette.
Color transfer from the print.
Wash with similar colors, especially on the first wash, to minimize potential color bleeding. Follow care instructions strictly.
