Troubleshooting

Ruffle appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the ruffle on the reverse side using a cool setting, or consult a professional dry cleaner for advice on restoring the ruffle's shape.

Dress feels stiff after cleaning.

Ensure the dry cleaning process was followed correctly. Sometimes, new garments can feel slightly stiff initially; wear can help to soften the fabric over time.

Waistband feels too tight or too loose.

As the waistband is defined and structured, alterations may be possible by a professional tailor if a perfect fit is not achieved off-the-rack. However, consider that the design intends a cinched waist.
