Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing.

Ensure the dress is ironed while slightly damp on a medium heat setting. Avoid over-drying if using a tumble dryer.

Belt not staying tied securely.

Double-check the knot. If the fabric is very smooth, a slightly tighter knot or a discreet fabric-tack might help secure it if needed, though the fabric should provide sufficient grip.

Color bleeding during the first wash.

Always wash new garments separately or with dark colors for the first wash to prevent any potential color transfer. Use cold water.

Shrinkage after washing.

Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid high heat in the washing machine or dryer. Reshape the garment while damp.
