Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit correctly

Refer to the sizing guide and consider if the desired fit is a snug, figure-hugging style. If between sizes, consider the next size up for a slightly more relaxed fit, though this may alter the intended silhouette.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Hang the dress on a padded hanger. If creases persist, use a steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer at a distance from the fabric. Avoid direct ironing unless using a very low heat setting with a protective cloth.

Cape detail is not lying flat

Ensure the dress is hung correctly. Sometimes, gravity will help the cape settle. If the issue persists after wearing and allowing it to drape, a very gentle steaming might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
