Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased after storage.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth.
Bow embellishments appear loose.
Carefully stitch any loose threads or re-secure embellishments by hand with matching thread.
Garment feels stiff after dry cleaning.
Ensure the dry cleaner has used appropriate methods for wool blends. Airing the garment may help soften the fabric.
Dress feels too tight at the waist.
Consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments, or pair with a slimmer belt if the design allows without compromising the peplum structure.
