Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure correct sizing was selected. The stretch fabric allows for some give, but a very snug fit may indicate a size issue. Consider consulting the size guide.
Ruffles appear creased after storage.
Gently steam the ruffles on a low heat setting, holding the steamer a safe distance away. Avoid direct ironing on the ruffle edges.
Fabric snagged or pulled.
Handle with care around rough surfaces. Minor snags may be difficult to repair on satin; professional tailoring may be required for significant damage.
