Troubleshooting
Dress appears too long despite being petite sizing.
Ensure the belt is cinched effectively at the natural waist to create the intended midi length silhouette. If still too long, consider professional hemming.
Broderie detailing snagged or pulled.
Carefully try to pull the snagged thread back through to the reverse side using a needle. Avoid tugging. Refer to care instructions for gentle washing to prevent future issues.
Colour fading after washing.
