Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased upon arrival.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side, ensuring direct heat is not applied to the embroidery.
Embroidery seems delicate or snagged.
Handle with extreme care. If a thread is pulled, try to gently push it back through to the reverse side with a needle. Avoid catching the embroidery on sharp objects.
Fit is not as expected.
Refer to the brand's specific sizing guide and compare measurements. Consider the garment's construction (e.g., fitted bodice, flowing skirt) when assessing fit.
Color appears different from online images.
Color perception can vary based on screen settings and lighting. If a significant discrepancy exists, review the product description and consider contacting customer service.
