Troubleshooting
Fabric loses shape after washing
Ensure washing instructions on the care label are strictly followed. Use cool water and avoid machine drying. Reshape the garment while damp and dry flat.
Belt detail appears loose or uneven
Check if the belt is threaded correctly through the designated loops. Ensure the buckle is fastened securely and the belt is adjusted evenly.
Creasing occurs easily
Hang the dress immediately after wearing. Use a steamer or a cool iron setting on the reverse side of the fabric. Store the dress on a padded hanger.
