Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased
Gently iron on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth. Ensure the garment is completely dry before ironing.
Color transfer from dress
This can occur with new leather garments. Avoid prolonged contact with lighter-colored fabrics, especially when damp. Professional cleaning may be required if significant transfer occurs.
Belt buckle is stiff
