Troubleshooting

Dress not draping as expected

Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a suitable hanger. Check if it has been stored improperly, which might affect the fabric's natural drape. Professional steaming may help restore the intended silhouette.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Follow the care instructions for professional dry cleaning or low-heat ironing. Handle with care to avoid further creasing.

Sizing feels off

Refer to the brand's specific sizing guide. Consider that the tailored fit might feel different from looser garments. For significant fit issues, consult a professional tailor for alterations.
