Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing/drying.

Iron on a low heat setting while the garment is slightly damp, or use a steamer. Ensure the dress is not over-dried.

Buttons feel loose.

Carefully reinforce buttons by hand-stitching them more securely. Use a matching thread and a double stitch for added durability.

Fabric texture feels rough or damaged.

This may be due to incorrect washing methods. Future washes should be strictly dry clean or cool hand wash. For minor texture issues, a gentle steam might help.

Concealed zip is difficult to move.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zip teeth and gently work the slider back and forth.
