Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after shipping.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Professional dry cleaning with pressing is also an option for stubborn creases.
Belt does not stay secured.
Ensure the belt is tied firmly. If the fabric is slippery, you may need to double-knot it or use a small, discreet stitch to keep the knot in place after tying.
Fabric seems stiff.
This is characteristic of the structured crepe fabric, designed to hold its shape. It should become more comfortable with wear. Ensure correct care to maintain fabric integrity.
