Troubleshooting
Satin fabric appears creased.
Gently steam the dress on a low heat setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. If creases persist, iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth on a low heat.
Dress feels too long.
As this is a maxi dress with a specific intended length, alteration by a tailor is the most effective solution for a perfect fit. Ensure any alterations maintain the integrity of the design.
Undergarments are visible.
Opt for specialized undergarments such as backless bras, adhesive bras, or low-back solutions that are designed to be invisible with backless garments.
Fabric snagged.
For minor snags, try gently pulling the snagged thread to the inside of the garment. For more significant damage, professional repair by a seamstress may be required.
