Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit as expected.

Refer to the size guide and product measurements. Ensure accurate body measurements are taken before ordering. Consider alternative sizes if available. The compact stretch fabric offers some flexibility but is designed for a sculpted fit.

Fabric appears creased after storage.

Hang the dress and allow it to air out. If creases persist, use a low-heat iron on the reverse side of the fabric, or consider professional steaming.

Minor scuffs or marks on the fabric.

For minor marks, consult a professional dry cleaner. Avoid attempting to spot clean with harsh chemicals, as this may damage the fabric.
