Troubleshooting
Gown does not fit correctly
Consult a professional tailor for alterations. Given the structured bustier, ensure any alterations are done by an experienced seamstress.
Minor wrinkles or creases
Gently steam the affected area on a low setting, maintaining a distance between the steamer and the fabric. Avoid direct ironing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth if necessary. If issues persist, consult a tailor.
