How do the puff sleeves affect comfort?

Troubleshooting

Dress arrived creased

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or iron on a low setting according to care instructions.

Color faded after washing

Ensure you used a cold wash cycle and a mild detergent. Check if the garment was exposed to direct sunlight during drying, as this can cause fading.

Fabric appears stretched or misshapen

Avoid machine drying and high spin cycles. Lay flat to dry and avoid stretching the fabric when wet.
