Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is hung properly on a suitable hanger. Check for any creasing and carefully steam according to care instructions.

Gently steam the affected area. Avoid direct ironing as high heat can damage the satin twill.

Consider wearing seamless undergarments or a delicate slip that complements the dress and the event's dress code.
