Troubleshooting
Shrinking after washing
Ensure washing and drying are done according to the care label. Use cold water for washing and avoid high heat for drying. If shrinkage has occurred, a gentle steam iron might help restore some shape.
Buttons becoming loose or damaged
Handle the decorative buttons with care during washing and ironing. If a button becomes loose, carefully re-sew it. For significant damage, contact customer service for potential repair or replacement options.
Fabric losing its crispness
Proper ironing techniques can help restore the fabric's crispness. Ensure the garment is slightly damp before ironing or use a steam function. Avoid over-drying, which can make cotton stiff.
