Can the asymmetric fold detail be adjusted?

What kind of undergarments are recommended?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after wear.

Linen blends can crease. For minor creases, try hanging the dress in a steamy bathroom or use a cool iron setting with a pressing cloth on the reverse side. For significant creasing, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Fit feels too restrictive in the hip area.

The pencil silhouette is designed for a close fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected based on accurate measurements. Consider the fabric's inherent structure.

Asymmetric detail does not lay as expected.

Ensure the dress is being worn correctly and that the fold is aligned as designed. Gentle steaming can help the fabric drape appropriately. Professional tailoring can make minor adjustments if needed.
