Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or have it professionally dry cleaned and pressed.

Fabric feels stiff

This is characteristic of the compact knit; ensure proper dry cleaning to maintain fabric texture.

Ruffle detail losing shape

Ensure the dress is stored correctly on a hanger and avoid over-handling the ruffles. Professional pressing may help restore shape.
