Troubleshooting

Dress seems too tight or loose in the waist

Adjust the included belt to achieve a more comfortable and flattering fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurements.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. This will help restore suppleness.

Minor scuffs or marks on the leather
