Troubleshooting

Fabric appears stretched or misshapen.

Ensure the dress was laid flat to dry and not hung while wet. Gentle reshaping while damp may help. Avoid excessive heat during drying or ironing.

Lace trim is snagged or damaged.

Carefully inspect the lace. Small snags can sometimes be gently coaxed back into place with a fine needle. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary. Always hand wash with extreme care around lace areas.

Garment has lost its drape.

This can occur if the fabric has been washed improperly or exposed to too much heat. Ensure correct washing and drying methods are followed. For significant loss of drape, professional consultation might be needed.
