Troubleshooting
Dress seems to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you followed the washing instructions carefully, using a cool or lukewarm water setting and avoiding high heat during drying. For future washes, consider air drying or tumble drying on the lowest possible heat setting.
Shirring appears stretched or lost its texture.
Avoid excessive stretching or wringing of the shirred area. Gentle washing and careful handling during drying are key. If the issue persists, consider professional dry cleaning for delicate fabrics.
Color has faded significantly.
Wash the dress inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid exposing the dress to direct sunlight for prolonged periods when drying, as this can cause fading. Consider using a color-safe detergent.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Try using a fabric softener during the rinse cycle or re-washing with a small amount of white vinegar. Ensure all detergent residue is fully rinsed out.
