Troubleshooting
Dress feels tight or restrictive
The stretch viscose offers some give, but the tailored fit is key. Ensure the correct size was selected. Minor adjustments by a tailor may be possible for a perfect fit.
Draping on the shoulder appears uneven after wear
Gently reposition the fabric. If creasing is significant, professional steaming or careful cool ironing on the reverse side may be required. Ensure proper storage to prevent this.
Fabric shows slight creasing
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom or use a cool iron on the fabric's reverse side. Avoid high heat which can damage the material.
