Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a silk-specific, mild detergent and that the water temperature is cold. Avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners.
Straps feel loose or uneven.
The straps are adjustable. Locate the small sliders near the neckline and gently pull or push them to tighten or loosen the straps until a comfortable and even fit is achieved.
Print appears faded after a few washes.
This can occur with any dyed fabric. Ensure you are hand washing in cold water, avoiding direct sunlight during drying, and using minimal detergent to preserve the print's vibrancy.
Chemise clings due to static.
Silk is a natural fiber and less prone to static. If static occurs, ensure the garment is properly air-dried away from synthetic materials. A humidifier in the room can also help reduce static.
