Troubleshooting

Dress appears too long despite being a petite fit.

Consider hemming the dress to your preferred length. As petite sizing varies, minor alterations may be needed for a perfect floor-skimming fit.

Lace trim snagged or damaged.

Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. For more significant damage, consult a tailor for professional repair. Handle with care to prevent future snags.

Color fading after washing.

Ensure you are washing with similar colors in cool water and using a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying. Check the care label for specific washing temperature recommendations.

Mesh overlay feels stiff or uncomfortable.
