Is the asymmetric hemline suitable for all heights?

Troubleshooting
Knit stretching out of shape
Ensure the dress is laid flat to dry after washing. Avoid hanging it while wet. Store folded rather than hung.
Metal hardware losing its shine
Gently polish the metal hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or exposing it to harsh chemicals.
Minor snags in the knit
For very minor snags, attempt to gently pull the snagged thread back through to the inside of the fabric using a needle. Professional repair may be necessary for larger snags.
