Troubleshooting

Costume feels too large or too small

Consider layering with appropriate undergarments to adjust fit. For significant size discrepancies, consult size charts for potential exchanges or alterations.

Lace dickey is creased

Gently iron the lace on a low setting, using a pressing cloth, or hang the costume in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes to release wrinkles.

Color transfer from red jacket

Ensure the costume is fully dry before wearing. If concerned about color bleeding, consider wearing a dark slip underneath the skirt. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for initial cleaning to set the dye.
