Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly.

Ensure the dress is properly fastened at the back and the belt is tied securely and evenly. Allow the garment to hang for a day to let the fabric settle after storage.

Minor creases or wrinkles.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting, keeping the steamer at a safe distance. Alternatively, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, ensuring no direct heat is applied.
