Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid using fabric softener, which can sometimes affect the drape of georgette. Lay flat to dry completely.
Item appears to have lost its shape
Georgette is a delicate fabric. Gently reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric excessively during washing.
