Troubleshooting
Dress does not lay smoothly
Ensure proper undergarments are worn. The compact stretch fabric is designed to sculpt, but the right undergarments can enhance the fit. Check if the size is correct; a size too small may cause pulling.
Buttons appear loose or damaged
As a preventative measure, avoid excessive force when buttoning or unbuttoning. If buttons become loose, consult a professional tailor for secure reattachment.
Fabric creasing significantly
Follow the recommended care instructions for pressing. Allow the garment to hang; the stretch fabric should naturally ease out minor creases. Consider steaming rather than direct ironing for delicate areas.
