Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang as expected

Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a padded hanger. Check care label for specific washing and drying instructions to avoid shrinkage or distortion.

Ruffle detail appears creased

Use a garment steamer on a low setting or iron on the reverse side of the fabric with a cool iron. Avoid direct heat on the ruffle.

Color transfer during washing

Wash with similar colors in cold water. If significant color bleeding is a concern, consider hand-washing separately for the first few washes.
