Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage
Hang the dress on a padded hanger to allow creases to fall out naturally. If needed, use a steamer on a low setting, keeping it at a safe distance from the fabric. Avoid direct ironing, especially on the ruffle hem.
Fabric feels stiff or loses its shape
This is characteristic of scuba fabric. Ensure correct care procedures are followed; avoid excessive heat or harsh washing methods. Professional cleaning often helps restore its intended texture.
Sizing feels too tight or too loose
The fitted bodice is designed to be snug. If the fit is not as expected, consult the brand's specific size chart for measurements. Minor alterations might be possible at the seams, but this should be done by a professional tailor.
