Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased upon arrival.
This is common with linen blends. Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or iron on a cool setting on the reverse side as per care instructions.
Belt buckle feels stiff.
Ensure the belt is correctly aligned before fastening. The structure is designed to be firm; gentle manipulation might be needed initially.
Dress feels too snug after wear.
Linen has a slight natural give, but if the fit becomes uncomfortable, ensure you are following the correct care instructions to avoid shrinkage. Consider if the petite sizing is the optimal fit for your torso length.
