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.

Ring hardware seems loose.

Gently inspect the attachment point. If it is a stitching issue, a tailor can re-secure it. For minor adjustments, a fabric glue designed for garments could be used cautiously.
