Troubleshooting
Dress does not fit well
Ensure you have selected the correct size, paying close attention to the UK sizing provided. If the fit is still not right, consider if the tailored style is suited to your body shape or consult a tailor for minor alterations.
Fabric appears creased
Iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side of the fabric. For stubborn creases, professional steaming or dry cleaning may be necessary.
Belt buckle feels stiff
Gently work the buckle back and forth. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant applied sparingly to the mechanism might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
