Troubleshooting

Bodysuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure the side zipper is fully opened before attempting to put on. The fabric has some stretch, but a snug fit is intended for a sleek silhouette. If it consistently feels uncomfortable, it may not be the correct size.

Zipper is difficult to fasten.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper track. If the issue persists, do not force the zipper, as this could cause damage.

Fabric appears creased after storage.

Hang the bodysuit and allow it to air out. If creases remain, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, ensuring it is completely dry.
