Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For more persistent wrinkles, iron on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth.

Belt does not stay in place

Ensure the belt is tied securely. If the fabric is slippery, consider adding a small amount of fabric chalk or a temporary garment tape to the inside of the belt to improve grip.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not over-drying. A fabric softener on a gentle cycle might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
