Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after washing.

Gently iron the dress on a low heat setting while it is still slightly damp. Alternatively, use a steam iron to remove creases effectively. Ensure proper drying to minimize wrinkling.

Belt buckle feels stiff or difficult to fasten.

Check that the fabric covering the buckle is not obstructing the mechanism. Gently try to adjust the fabric. If the issue persists, it may be a manufacturing defect.

Fabric feels rough after multiple washes.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and a cool wash cycle. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat during washing and drying, which can degrade the fabric fibers.
