Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after washing.

Ensure the dress is ironed on a low heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steam iron. For stubborn creases in the pleats, careful steaming or ironing with a pressing cloth may be required.

Fabric feels stiff.

This may be due to the cotton blend. Ensure you are using a suitable detergent and consider a fabric conditioner if the care label permits. Ensure the garment is fully rinsed.
