Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage

Gently steam the garment on a low setting or have it professionally steamed. Avoid direct ironing on pleats if possible.

Tie waist is difficult to secure

Ensure the fabric is smooth before tying. Experiment with different knotting techniques for a secure fit.

Fabric feels stiff

Cotton-rich woven fabrics are naturally structured. This stiffness is intended to maintain the silhouette. It should soften slightly with wear.
