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.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the delicate embroidery and woven fabric, hand washing in cold water is recommended. Avoid machine washing to preserve the embroidery's integrity.
