Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after shipping.

Hang the dress and allow it to relax. If necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side or consider a steam treatment.

Belt is difficult to tie or adjust.

Ensure the belt is fed through the belt loops correctly. Practice tying the belt to achieve the desired cinched effect.

Cape sleeves feel cumbersome.

Adjust the drape of the sleeves by carefully positioning them. For a more streamlined look, you can try tucking or pinning them discreetly, though this may alter the intended design.

Fabric feels stiff.

Twill fabric is naturally structured. The fabric will soften with wear and proper care. Follow the recommended washing instructions.
