Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or gets stuck
Gently work the zip up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If it's consistently stiff, a tiny amount of zip lubricant (like beeswax or graphite) can be applied, avoiding contact with the fabric.
Accessories (badge/handcuffs) don't stay attached
Check the attachment mechanism (e.g., pin, clip). Ensure it's fully closed or securely fastened to the garment. If a pin is dull, try a different attachment point where the fabric is tighter.
Satin material appears creased or wrinkled
Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for a short period, allowing the steam to relax the fabric. Alternatively, use a garment steamer on a low setting or iron on the lowest heat setting with a protective cloth over the satin, ironing from the inside out.
The 'PVC style' appearance looks dull
Gently wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dust or residue. Avoid using chemical cleaners, which can dull or damage the finish.
Fit feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you've selected the correct UK dress size. While the central zip offers some adjustability for the neckline, the overall body fit is fixed. Refer to Ann Summers' general sizing guide if available, and consider the 'stretch' of the satin for optimal comfort.
