Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive.
The bandage knit offers stretch; ensure you have selected the correct size. If it's still restrictive, consider if shapewear might enhance comfort and silhouette.
Pilling on the knit fabric.
Gentle care during washing and wearing can minimize pilling. A fabric shaver can be used cautiously on small areas if needed, but test on an inconspicuous spot first.
Zipper snagging.
Ensure the fabric is smooth around the zipper track before zipping. If it snags, do not force it. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil if it becomes stiff.
Gold-tone embellishments losing shine.
Gently polish the buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
