Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased after storage
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or iron on a cool setting on the reverse side. Professional dry cleaning can also help.
Zip detail feels stiff
Gently work the zip up and down. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can be applied to the teeth for smoother operation. Avoid excessive force.
