Troubleshooting
Bodysuit feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, the boning may cause discomfort for prolonged wear; consider a less structured alternative for longer periods.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Hang the bodysuit and allow it to air out. If necessary, iron on a very cool setting on the reverse side, or consult a dry cleaner for professional pressing.
Snap closures are difficult to fasten
Ensure the snaps are correctly aligned before attempting to fasten. If they are stiff, a small amount of wax can sometimes ease the closure, but use sparingly.
