Troubleshooting

Costume does not fit as expected

Refer to the manufacturer's size chart for accurate measurements before purchasing. If the fit is slightly off, consider adding accessories like a belt or petticoat to adjust the silhouette.

Polka dots appear faded or uneven

This is part of the pattern design. If there are significant defects, contact the retailer for a replacement, ensuring the costume has not been washed or altered.

Fabric feels stiff or uncomfortable

After initial wear, the polyester may soften slightly. Washing according to care instructions can help improve fabric feel. Wearing a slip underneath can also enhance comfort.
