Troubleshooting
Dress does not hang as expected
Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a suitable hanger. If recently purchased, allow it time to naturally drape after unpacking. Gentle steaming can help remove packing creases.
Rosette detail appears creased
Consult the care label. Typically, a very cool iron on the reverse side or professional steaming can help. Avoid direct heat or pressure on the rosette.
Minor wrinkling during wear
Polyester blends can be prone to light creasing. A travel steamer can be used on a low setting if needed, or hang the garment in a steamy bathroom.
