Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or loose after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions precisely. For minor fit issues, consider professional alteration.

Leopard print appears faded

This can occur due to excessive washing or exposure to direct sunlight during drying. Always wash inside out and air dry away from direct light. Use a cool iron on the reverse side.

Shirring on bodice loses elasticity

Avoid high heat when washing or drying, as this can damage the elastic threads in the shirring. Gentle care is essential for maintaining the bodice's fit.
