Troubleshooting
Dress feels too restrictive or uncomfortable.
This dress has 'no level of stretch.' Ensure you have chosen the correct size according to the brand's size guide. If it feels too tight, a larger size might be needed.
Difficulty zipping up the rear concealed zip.
Ensure the dress is fully pulled up and aligned on your body before attempting to zip. Ask for assistance if necessary, as concealed zips can sometimes be tricky to reach on your own.
Sequins appear loose or damaged.
The dress features hand-sewn embellishments. Handle with extreme care when wearing, taking off, and storing. Avoid harsh rubbing or snagging on rough surfaces. Follow specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer. If specific care instructions are not available, refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for general advice.
Dress does not drape as expected.
