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.
