Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage.

Hang the dress and allow it to air out. If necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. For stubborn creases, consider a professional steaming service.

Fit around the bodice feels too tight.

As this is a tailored fit, alterations may be needed for a perfect fit. Consult a seamstress for adjustments.

Fabric texture feels different than expected.

The spot jacquard weave is designed to have a tactile, woven texture rather than a smooth finish. Refer to product images for visual representation.
