Can the front vent be altered?

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stuck, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a tiny drop of silicone lubricant to the teeth.

Dress doesn't hang correctly

Verify that the dress is hung properly on a sturdy hanger. Ensure the garment has not been stored folded for a long period. If the issue persists, professional tailoring may be required to adjust the fit.

Curled detail appears misshapen

Refer to the care instructions regarding ironing. Gently steam the detail from a distance and reshape by hand if needed. Avoid direct pressing on the curled elements.
