Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is hung on an appropriate hanger and allow it time to naturally drape. If creasing persists, follow the cool iron instructions on the reverse side.

Fabric feels stiff

The scuba woven fabric is designed for structure. The lined interior and the nature of the fabric should provide comfort. Ensure the correct size is being worn, as an ill-fitting size can affect drape.

Ruffle hem appears uneven

The dipped ruffle hem is an architectural design feature and is intended to have asymmetry and movement. Ensure the dress is hung properly to allow the hem to settle into its intended shape.
