Troubleshooting

Dress feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh agitation. Try hanging to dry rather than laying flat if slight stiffness persists.

Wrinkles are difficult to remove from the fabric.

Use a steamer or a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Ensure the fabric is slightly damp before ironing for best results.

The bow detail looks flattened.

Gently reshape the bow while the garment is slightly damp or use a steamer on a low setting to restore its structure. Avoid direct high heat.

Fabric feels itchy or uncomfortable.

Ensure the cotton lining is against the skin. If discomfort persists, consider wearing a fine slip underneath. The fabric blend is designed for breathability, so itchiness is uncommon unless there's a sensitivity.
