Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight in the bust or waist
Consider ordering one size up, as the fitted silhouette can be restrictive. Ensure accurate body measurements before purchasing.
Cape design feels awkward or restrictive
Ensure the dress is the correct size. The cape is designed for drape; slight adjustment of the shoulders may help. For significant discomfort, this style may not be suitable.
Fabric appears creased after storage
Gently steam the garment on a low setting or iron on the reverse side with a cool iron. Hang the dress to allow creases to fall out naturally.
