Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit correctly.

Refer to the product's size guide for detailed measurements. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider the model's height and size (1.75m wearing size 8) for reference.

Taffeta skirt loses its crispness.

Ensure the dress is stored properly, ideally hung on a padded hanger to maintain the skirt's structure. Avoid over-folding.

Belt adjustment is difficult.

Gently slide the belt through the designated loops. If the material is stiff, a small amount of leather conditioner (applied only to the leather insert) might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
