Troubleshooting
Dress has excessive creases
Gently steam the dress on a cool setting, or have it professionally dry cleaned and pressed.
Fabric loses its crinkle texture
This is often irreversible. Ensure you follow the recommended dry clean only care instructions to maintain the fabric's intended appearance.
Sizing feels off
Consult the brand's specific size guide for accurate measurements. Consider the garment's cut and material; polyester can have slight variations. If a UK size 12 is typically a perfect fit, this dress may run true to size or slightly differently based on its design.
