Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang as expected

Ensure the dress is properly hung and allowed to settle. The layered tulle may take time to regain its intended shape after storage or transport. Check that the waist banding is correctly positioned.

Tulle appears wrinkled

Avoid ironing tulle directly. If minor wrinkles are present, try hanging the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period. For persistent wrinkles, consult a professional dry cleaner experienced with delicate fabrics.

Zipper is difficult to move

Gently check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Ensure the zipper is aligned correctly before attempting to pull. If resistance persists, do not force it, and seek professional assistance.
