Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a cool setting, focusing on the reverse side. Avoid direct contact with any embellishments. If wrinkles persist, consult a professional dry cleaner.

Zipper is difficult to close.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can be applied to the teeth. If the issue persists, seek professional alteration services.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning.

This can sometimes occur with viscose after dry cleaning. Gentle steaming or hanging in a humid (but not damp) environment may help to relax the fibers. Consult your dry cleaner if the issue is significant.
