Troubleshooting

Crease in fabric after storage

Hang the dress to allow creases to fall out naturally. If persistent, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, or consider professional steaming.

Fabric feels stiff

This may be due to improper cleaning. Ensure the dress is dry cleaned according to instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can affect the fabric's natural drape.

Minor snag on fabric

For minor snags, gently try to pull the snagged thread back through to the reverse side using a fine needle. For more significant damage, consult a professional tailor.
