Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after shipping

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or have it professionally pressed. Avoid direct high heat on the fabric.

Pockets look bulky

Ensure items in the pockets are minimal. For a smoother appearance, the pockets can be carefully stitched closed from the inside if not needed for use.

Creasing in the pleated skirt

Follow dry cleaning instructions carefully. For minor touch-ups, use a low-heat steam iron on the reverse side of the fabric, taking care not to flatten the pleats.

Contrast collar loses shape

Ensure the dress is stored properly on a hanger that supports the shoulder structure. Avoid over-stuffing closets. Professional cleaning will help maintain the collar's shape.
