Troubleshooting
Dress does not hang as expected
Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a padded hanger. If creased, follow the care instructions for low-heat ironing on the reverse side.
Fabric feels stiff
The fabric has a structured quality by design. The stretch-infusion should provide comfort; ensure you are wearing the correct size. Gentle steaming (following care instructions) may help soften the fabric slightly.
Pockets appear bulky
Ensure items placed in the pockets are not overfilled. The pockets are designed to be discreet; excessive items can cause them to appear strained.
