Troubleshooting

Dress wrinkles easily.

This is characteristic of linen blends. Use a cool iron on the reverse side. Consider steaming the garment for a smoother finish. For storage, hang to minimize creasing.

Straps feel too delicate.

Handle the strappy details with care when dressing and undressing. Avoid pulling directly on the straps. Ensure the dress is zipped or fastened correctly before fully adjusting straps.

Length is not perfect for my specific height.

While designed for petite frames, individual heights vary. Professional tailoring may be required for minor adjustments to the hem.
