Troubleshooting

Playsuit appears creased after washing

Iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side or with a pressing cloth, ensuring the fabric is slightly damp for easier wrinkle removal.

Lace trim snagged or pulled

Carefully attempt to mend small snags with a fine needle. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary. Always handle with care during wear and washing.

Belt buckle feels loose

Ensure the belt is properly threaded through the buckle. If the buckle mechanism itself is faulty, contact customer service for a replacement part if available.
