Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Refer to the care instructions for low heat ironing on the reverse side. Professional dry cleaning can also help remove stubborn creases.

Fit around the waist feels too tight or loose.

The belted design allows for some adjustment. Ensure the belt is positioned correctly. If the fit is significantly off, consult the size guide for alternate sizes as different fits may be available.

Fabric loses its structure over time.
