Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after shipping or storage.
Hang the dress to allow wrinkles to naturally fall out. If needed, use a steamer on a low setting, ensuring it is suitable for the fabric blend. Avoid direct ironing on embellishments.
Fit is too tight in the bodice.
While the fabric has stretch, the tailored fit is designed to be structured. Consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments. Ensure correct sizing was selected.
