Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is hung on an appropriate padded hanger. Check for any internal structure issues or creases that may require professional steaming or pressing.

Fabric appears creased

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping it at a safe distance from the fabric. For stubborn creases, professional dry cleaning with pressing is advised.

Fit feels too tight or restrictive

While the fabric has some stretch, the design is tailored. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurements. Minor alterations by a professional tailor might be possible for a perfect fit.
