Troubleshooting
Dress appears to have shrunk after washing
Wool can shrink if exposed to hot water or machine agitation. If slight shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the fabric while damp. For significant shrinkage, professional fabric restoration may be needed, though success is not guaranteed.
Pattern appears faded
Ensure the dress is being washed according to the care instructions (cold water, gentle cycle, or dry clean). Direct sunlight during drying can also cause fading; always dry items away from direct sun.
Shirring has lost its elasticity
Over time, elasticated shirring can weaken. Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. If the shirring is significantly stretched out, it may be difficult to restore its original tightness.
