Troubleshooting
Dress does not hang correctly
Ensure the dress is fully steamed or ironed according to care instructions. Check that it is being worn with appropriate undergarments that do not interfere with the silhouette.
Ruching appears creased
Gently steam the ruched areas on a low setting. Avoid direct high heat. If ironing, use a pressing cloth.
Zipper is stiff
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite from a pencil applied to the teeth may help. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
