Troubleshooting
Feathers appear matted or out of place
Gently steam the feathers from a distance, or use a soft brush to carefully arrange them. Avoid direct contact with high heat.
Dress feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The bandage fit is designed to be snug; the leg split aids in movement.
Fabric shows signs of stretching or loss of shape
Follow the recommended care instructions strictly, especially regarding washing and drying. Avoid machine drying or harsh detergents.
Zipper is difficult to use
Check for any fabric or feathers caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. If persistent, a professional tailor may be able to assist.
