Troubleshooting

Dress not hanging correctly

Ensure the dress is stored on a padded hanger to maintain its shape. Check if the internal seams or any gathered elements are twisted. If the issue persists, consult a professional tailor.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

This can sometimes happen with viscose after specialist cleaning. Gently stretch the fabric while slightly damp or have the cleaner re-press it, ensuring they use appropriate steam settings for viscose.

Zipper is sticking

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of natural oil to the zipper teeth. If it remains stuck, do not force it and seek professional assistance from a dry cleaner or tailor.
