Troubleshooting
Blouse appears wrinkled after washing.
Iron the blouse on a medium setting while slightly damp, or use a steamer. Ensure proper drying methods are followed.
Embroidery appears to be snagged or damaged.
Carefully inspect the embroidery. If minor, try to gently smooth it out. For significant damage, consult professional garment repair services. Always follow delicate washing instructions.
Belt is difficult to tie into a neat bow.
Practice tying the belt on a flat surface. Using a mirror can help achieve a consistent look. Ensure the fabric is not twisted before tying.
