Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased upon arrival.

Hang the dress immediately on a padded hanger. For stubborn creases, consult the care instructions for appropriate ironing methods or consider professional dry cleaning.

Fabric feels rough or matted.

This can occur with velvet. Gently brush the affected area with a soft velvet brush in the direction of the pile. Avoid excessive friction.

Velvet bow detail is misshapen.

Carefully reshape the bow by hand. If necessary, use a very cool iron on the reverse of the velvet, with a pressing cloth and extreme caution.
