Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or snagging

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it continues to snag, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite pencil lead applied to the teeth might help.

Dress feels itchy or uncomfortable

This can sometimes occur with wool blends. Ensure you are wearing appropriate undergarments. If the issue persists, the fabric blend may not be suitable for your skin sensitivity. Dry cleaning can sometimes soften the fabric.

Fabric appears to be pilling or snagged

Boucle fabrics can be prone to pilling with wear. Use a fabric shaver carefully on any small pills. For snags, attempt to gently pull the snagged thread back through to the inside of the garment using a needle. Professional repair may be necessary for significant snags.
