Troubleshooting

Fabric appears dull or loses sheen.

Ensure the dress is only dry cleaned. Avoid washing machines or harsh detergents. If ironing, use a cool setting on the reverse side and consider a pressing cloth.

Dress is creased.

Hang the dress on a padded hanger to allow creases to fall out naturally. If necessary, steam lightly on the reverse side or use a cool iron with a pressing cloth.

Twist detail at the waist looks uneven.

Gently adjust the fabric at the waist twist. If the creasing is set, professional dry cleaning with expert pressing may help restore its intended appearance.
