Troubleshooting
Satin fabric appears creased
Gently steam the reverse side of the fabric on a cool setting or have the garment professionally pressed. Avoid direct ironing on the satin.
Fringe detailing looks uneven or tangled
Gently detangle the fringe by hand. If necessary, a very light steam from a distance can help settle the threads. Avoid harsh brushing.
Dress length is too long
Consult a professional tailor for alterations. The dress can be hemmed to the desired length.
