Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Gently iron the dress on a low heat setting, using a pressing cloth if necessary. Hanging the dress can also help minor creases fall out.

Buttons feel loose.

Carefully reinforce the buttons with a needle and matching thread. Ensure the thread is strong and the stitches are secure.

Fabric seems to cling.

Ensure appropriate undergarments are worn. A slip made of smooth material can help prevent clinging and improve the drape of the dress.

Stain on white fabric.

Address stains immediately using a gentle stain remover suitable for polyester. Test the remover on an inconspicuous area first. Hand wash gently after treatment.
