Troubleshooting
Dress is wrinkled after storage.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Professional steaming is also an option.
Satin fabric appears dull.
Ensure the dress is not exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Dry cleaning by a reputable specialist can help restore the sheen.
Stuck zipper or loose threads.
Gently work the zipper; avoid forcing it. Trim any loose threads carefully with small scissors without cutting the main fabric.
Sizing feels slightly off.
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for detailed measurements. If between sizes, consider the regular fit and consult customer service for advice on fit.
