Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after wearing.
Gently steam the dress or iron on a cool setting on the reverse side. For significant creasing, professional dry cleaning may be best.
Fit is not as expected.
Ensure you are referencing the petite sizing chart. If the length is incorrect, consult a tailor for adjustments, though the petite cut aims for optimal proportion.
Fabric feels stiff.
This is characteristic of the linen blend's structure. The fabric will soften with wear and proper care. Ensure it is not over-ironed.
