Troubleshooting

Gown does not drape as expected

Ensure the garment is correctly sized. For minor fit issues, consult a tailor for adjustments. The mermaid style inherently has a specific drape.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Hang the gown in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a steamer on a low setting from a distance. For stubborn wrinkles, professional pressing is advised.

Zipper is difficult to move

Gently check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Lubricate the zipper track with a small amount of graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant.
