Troubleshooting

Fabric appears dull after cleaning

Ensure you are using a professional dry cleaner experienced with silk blends. Avoid ironing directly on the print or using high heat.

Dress feels stiff

This may be due to the cleaning process. Try a different dry cleaner or air out the garment. Gentle steaming on a low setting can also help relax the fibers.

Print seems to be fading

Ensure the garment is stored away from direct sunlight. If fading is significant, consult a professional cleaner about potential restoration options, though this is often not possible with severe fading.
