Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after washing
Ensure the dress is ironed on a medium heat setting while slightly damp, or use a garment steamer to remove creases and maintain the fabric's structure.
Color bleeding during the first wash
Always wash dark denim items separately for the first few washes to prevent color transfer to other garments. Use a color catcher sheet if concerned.
Stitching appears loose
Carefully trim any loose threads with sharp scissors. If the stitching is significantly unraveling, consult a tailor for repair.
Dress feels stiff after washing
This is often due to the structured nature of the denim. Wear the dress to allow it to soften naturally, or consider a fabric conditioner specifically designed for denim, used sparingly.
