Troubleshooting
Dress appears too long or ill-fitting.
Ensure you have selected the correct petite size. Check the garment measurements against your own for a precise fit. Consider minor alterations if needed.
Fabric feels rough or stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and the correct washing temperature. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners which can sometimes stiffen certain fabrics. Air drying or low tumble dry can help.
