Troubleshooting
Garment does not lay flat or maintain shape.
Ensure the garment is dry cleaned as per instructions. Minor wrinkles can be addressed with a low-heat steam iron on the reverse side.
Satin fabric appears dull.
This can occur if the garment is not cleaned properly. Professional dry cleaning should restore its sheen. Avoid direct exposure to harsh chemicals.
Halterneck tie feels uncomfortable.
Ensure the tie is adjusted correctly. The design requires the tie to be snug but not overly tight. Experiment with knot placement if possible, though the design is fixed.
