Troubleshooting
Dress doesn't drape as expected
Ensure the dress is hung correctly. For minor wrinkles, a cool iron on the reverse side of the scuba fabric may help. Check that the wrap is tied correctly to achieve the desired silhouette.
Lace appears delicate
Handle the lace sections with care to avoid snagging. Follow the hand wash or dry clean only instructions precisely.
Fit around the bust feels too revealing
Consider using fashion tape for a more secure fit or layering with a delicate camisole underneath the V-neckline for added modesty.
