Troubleshooting
Dress feels scratchy
Wool blends can sometimes feel slightly rough. Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, which can soften the fibers. Wearing a slip underneath can also add comfort.
Puff sleeves are too voluminous
The puff sleeves are designed for a specific silhouette. For a more streamlined look, avoid over-stuffing the sleeves and ensure the shoulder seam sits correctly.
Buttons feel loose
If buttons feel loose, reinforce them by carefully sewing them back on with a strong thread. Avoid excessive force when buttoning and unbuttoning.
Dress appears wrinkled after drying
Ensure the dress is laid flat and smoothed out while drying. If wrinkles persist, use a cool iron on the reverse side as per care instructions.
