Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is hung properly on a suitable hanger, paying attention to the shoulder and cape area. Check garment care label for specific hanging instructions. Allow the garment to rest on the hanger for 24 hours to allow fabric to settle.

Creases in fabric

Refer to the care instructions. If machine washable, follow specific settings. For dry-clean only items, a professional steam or a cool iron on the reverse side may help. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Lining feels uncomfortable

Ensure the garment is the correct size. If the lining feels stiff, it may soften slightly after a professional dry clean. Check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing irritation.
