Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or have it professionally pressed. Avoid ironing directly unless specified by a professional cleaner, as heat can damage the knit and embellishments.

Buttons feel loose.

If buttons feel loose, consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner for secure reattachment. Avoid attempting to tighten them yourself to prevent damage to the fabric.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning.

This may indicate improper dry cleaning. Ensure you use a reputable cleaner. The fabric should retain its natural drape with correct care.
