Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit as expected

Refer to the brand's specific size guide. Consider the tailored nature of the dress; if between sizes, consult customer service or consider tailoring for a perfect fit.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Hang the dress on a steamer or use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth to gently remove creases. Avoid high heat which can damage the fabric.
