Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is properly sized. Consider professional tailoring for a perfect fit. Check if seams are strained.

Fabric appears creased

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom or use a garment steamer on a low setting. For stubborn creases, iron on a cool setting on the reverse side.

Buttons appear loose or damaged

Carefully re-sew loose buttons using a strong thread. For damaged buttons, consult a tailor for potential replacement options.
