Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Iron on a low setting while the dress is slightly damp, or consider steaming. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric.

Broderie anglaise detailing looks stretched

Ensure you are not wringing the fabric. Gently press out excess water and lay flat to dry. Use a mesh laundry bag for machine washing.

Belt is difficult to tie securely

Ensure the belt is threaded through the loops correctly. Experiment with different knotting techniques for a secure fit. The fabric's natural texture should provide some grip.
