Troubleshooting

Dress wrinkles easily

Hang the dress immediately after wear. Use a cool iron on the reverse side for any necessary touch-ups. Consider using a fabric steamer for minor creases.

Belt buckle loses shine

Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, and excessive moisture. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store carefully to prevent scratches.

Petite sizing feels slightly off

While designed for petites, individual proportions vary. Consult a tailor for minor adjustments to sleeve length or hem if needed.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

Ensure you are using a reputable dry cleaner. Some finishing agents can affect fabric feel; air the garment thoroughly after cleaning.
