Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing
Gently iron the dress on a low heat setting, using a pressing cloth over the embroidery if needed. Ensure the fabric is slightly damp for easier ironing.
Embroidery threads are snagged
Carefully try to snip any stray threads with small, sharp scissors. Avoid pulling on the snagged threads, as this can damage the embroidery further. If significant damage occurs, consult a professional tailor or seamstress.
Dress colour seems to fade
Ensure the dress is not exposed to prolonged direct sunlight when drying or storing. Always wash with a mild detergent and in cold water to preserve colour.
Fit is not ideal despite petite sizing
Consider consulting a tailor for minor alterations to achieve a perfect fit. Petite sizing is a guideline and may still require adjustments for individual body shapes.
