Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased after storage.
Gently steam the garment on a low setting, ensuring the iron does not directly touch the fabric. Alternatively, professional dry cleaning and pressing will restore the fabric's smooth appearance.
Bow detail is misshapen.
Carefully reshape the bow by hand while the fabric is slightly damp or after steaming. Avoid excessive manipulation. If needed, consult a professional cleaner for reshaping.
Stain on the fabric.
Address stains immediately by blotting gently with a clean, damp cloth. For persistent stains, professional dry cleaning is the recommended course of action to prevent damage to the jacquard weave.
