Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival
Gently steam the dress using a garment steamer or iron on a very low setting with a pressing cloth. Hang it immediately on a padded hanger to prevent new creases.
Chiffon drape doesn't flow correctly
Ensure the dress is hanging evenly on your body. The drape is designed to flow naturally; avoid pulling or tugging. A light steam can help relax the fabric into its intended flow.
Satin fabric snags easily
Be mindful of sharp objects, jewelry with rough edges, or rough surfaces that could catch on the satin. Handle with care during wear and storage.
