Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or use a steamer on a low setting. If ironing, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth on the inside out.
Pleats lose their crispness.
Gently iron the pleats with a very low heat iron, using a pressing cloth and carefully pressing along the existing pleat lines. Avoid flattening. For best results, consider professional dry cleaning for pleat restoration.
Fabric static cling.
Use an anti-static spray on the inside of the dress or gently rub a dryer sheet over the fabric. Ensure the dress is fully dry after washing.
Dress feels too long or too short for preference.
The ankle-length cut is designed to showcase footwear. If too long, consult a professional tailor for hemming. If too short for your preference, consider different shoe heel heights to adjust the overall look.
