Troubleshooting
Dress feels too long.
The maxi length is designed for dramatic impact. If it's too long for your preference or height, consider professional tailoring to adjust the hemline. Ensure alterations are done by a specialist experienced with scuba fabric.
Fabric appears creased.
While scuba fabric is generally resistant to creasing, if wrinkles occur, use a garment steamer on a low setting. Alternatively, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct high heat from an iron, which can damage the fabric.
Difficulty finding appropriate undergarments for the one-shoulder design.
For a clean and seamless look, choose strapless bras, adhesive bras, or silicone pasties that provide the necessary support without showing straps.
Dress does not feel as form-fitting as expected.
The scuba fabric is designed to offer structure and contour. First, verify you have the correct size according to the brand's size guide. If the fit still isn't ideal, slight alterations by a professional tailor, particularly around the waist or bodice, can enhance the silhouette.
