Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's sizing chart. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider consulting a tailor for minor adjustments or exploring alternative sizes.
Velvet texture appears matted or uneven
This can sometimes occur during transit or storage. Gently brush the velvet with a soft garment brush in the direction of the nap. Avoid using excessive force.
Jacquard pattern looks dull after cleaning
Ensure the cleaning process followed professional dry cleaning guidelines. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat which can affect the dye and sheen of the fabric.
