Does the dress have any stretch?

Troubleshooting

Cape drapes unevenly

Ensure the dress is worn straight. Check for any internal seams or weights that might be misaligned. Gentle steaming can help settle the fabric.

Fabric feels creased after storage

Hang the dress to allow creases to fall out naturally. If necessary, steam on a low setting or consult a professional dry cleaner for pressing.

Sizing feels slightly off

Refer to the brand's size chart for precise measurements. The soft tailoring allows for some flexibility, but if significant discomfort exists, consider exchanging for a different size.
