Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing
Iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out or using a pressing cloth. Ensure the fabric is slightly damp for easier ironing.
Embroidery threads snagging
Handle with care during washing and wearing. If a thread is pulled, try to gently tuck it back in with a needle rather than cutting it.
Belt does not stay tied securely
Ensure the belt is tied firmly. If the material is slippery, consider a double knot or using a small fabric glue dot on the knot if permanent attachment is desired (test on an inconspicuous area first).
Color fading
Wash in cold water with mild detergent and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
