Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's sizing chart. Bandage dresses are designed for a close fit; consider alternative styles if significant restriction is uncomfortable.
Buckle trim appears loose or damaged
Examine the attachment points of the buckle. If it is a sewing issue, it may require professional repair. If the buckle itself is damaged, contact customer service for potential replacement options.
Fabric loses its shape after washing
Follow the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Laying flat to dry is crucial for maintaining the dress's structure.

Care Instructions:
- Material: Primarily composed of Polyester. Refer to the garment's care label for specific instructions.
