Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage

Hang the dress on a padded hanger in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming services. Avoid direct ironing on wool unless using a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth.

Hook fastening feels insecure

Ensure the hook and eye are correctly aligned and fully engaged. If the fastening seems loose, a tailor can reinforce it.

Colour appears dull after cleaning

Ensure you are using a reputable dry cleaner experienced with wool garments. Inconsistent cleaning methods can affect colour vibrancy.
