Troubleshooting

Dress loses shape after wear

Ensure the dress is stored correctly, ideally hung on a padded hanger. Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully to preserve fabric integrity.

Fabric feels uncomfortable or restrictive

While the fabric has stretch, ensure you have the correct size. For minor stiffness, wear the dress for short periods to allow it to adapt to your body.

Care label instructions are unclear

If the care label is difficult to read, opt for professional dry cleaning. Alternatively, perform a spot test with a mild detergent in an inconspicuous area before full washing.
