Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage.
As dry cleaning is recommended, consult your dry cleaner for professional pressing. Alternatively, use a steamer on a low setting, keeping it at a safe distance from the fabric, or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it snags, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or silicone lubricant can sometimes help smooth the zipper's operation, but apply sparingly and test in an inconspicuous area.
Color transfer from the dress.
This is unlikely with quality polyester, but if it occurs, it typically indicates an issue with the dyeing process. Ensure the dress is only dry-cleaned by a reputable professional cleaner.
