Troubleshooting
Dress appears to have shrunk after washing.
Check the wash label for specific temperature recommendations. Use a cooler wash setting and avoid high-heat tumble drying. For minor shrinkage, gentle stretching while damp may help.
Color faded after a few washes.
Ensure the dress is washed inside out and with similar colors. Use a detergent suitable for colored fabrics and avoid harsh bleaching agents.
Shirring elastic feels too tight or too loose.
The shirring is a fixed design element. For minor adjustments, very careful hand-stitching can be attempted, but significant alteration is not recommended without professional tailoring.
