Troubleshooting

Dress not hanging correctly

Ensure the dress is stored on an appropriate hanger to maintain its shape. Professional steaming might be needed to relax creases.

Velvet appears crushed or matted

Avoid pressing directly with an iron. Use a garment steamer on a low setting from a distance, or consult a professional cleaner specializing in delicate fabrics.

Taffeta losing its crispness

Taffeta can be sensitive to moisture. Ensure the dress is kept in a dry environment and avoid exposing it to steam or water unless professionally cleaned.
