Troubleshooting
Dress does not fit correctly
Consult the brand's specific size guide and compare with your measurements. Consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments if needed.

Carefully inspect the snag. If minor, try to gently tease it back into place. For significant damage, consult a professional seamstress specializing in delicate fabrics.
Fabric appears creased
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a low-heat garment steamer. Avoid direct ironing unless specified by a care label, and use a pressing cloth if necessary.
