Troubleshooting

Dress appears too long or too short

This is a maxi dress designed for taller individuals. While the length is standardized for its intended size, individual heights can vary. Consider tailoring if minor adjustments are needed, or pair with appropriate footwear (heels for shorter individuals, flats for taller) to achieve the desired length.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are following the washing instructions. Tumble drying on low heat can sometimes make cotton feel stiffer. A cool iron and allowing the fabric to air dry may help restore softness. Fabric softener can also be used sparingly if needed.

Shirred waist losing elasticity

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying, as high temperatures can degrade elastic. Stick to the recommended cold wash and low tumble dry settings. Do not iron directly on the shirred elastic.
