Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. If necessary, iron on the reverse side with a cool iron, taking care around embellishments.

Color bleeding during washing.

Ensure you are washing the garment in cold water separately or with similar dark colors. Avoid soaking for extended periods. Always check the care label for specific washing instructions.
