Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Due to the bandage construction and bodycon fit, the dress is designed to be snug. Consider undergarments that offer a smooth silhouette. If the fit is significantly uncomfortable, consult sizing charts for future purchases.
Creasing in the leather material.
Hang the dress on a padded hanger. If creases persist, consult a professional dry cleaner for advice on leather care and pressing, or try a very low heat setting on an iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Gold-tone buckle appears dull.
Gently polish the buckle with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn tarnish, a specialized metal polish for gold-tone hardware can be used, ensuring it does not come into contact with the fabric.
