Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage or travel.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side. Professional dry cleaning can also help remove stubborn creases.
Sizing feels too restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the brand's sizing chart. If alterations are needed, consult a professional tailor for adjustments to the fitted silhouette.
