Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected by referring to the brand's sizing chart. The structured nature of the fit means precise sizing is crucial for comfort.
Fabric appears creased after storage
Hang the dress on a padded hanger to minimize creasing. If minor wrinkles persist, a cool iron on the reverse side or a professional steaming service is recommended. Avoid direct high heat.
Ring hardware detail becomes loose
Gently check the attachment points. If loose, a tailor may be able to securely reattach it. Avoid forceful manipulation of the hardware.
