Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or too loose.
The dress is described as 'True to size'. If the fit isn't as expected, double-check your current measurements against standard UK sizing for dresses. Consider exploring other available sizes in this style if a different fit is desired.
Fabric appears creased after washing.
While polyester blends are generally wrinkle-resistant, machine washing can sometimes cause light creasing. To smooth out wrinkles, iron the dress on a low heat setting. Alternatively, a fabric steamer can effectively remove creases without direct heat.
Color seems dull or faded after washing.
To preserve the vibrancy of the red floral pattern, always wash the dress with similar colors. Use a color-safe detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or high temperatures during both washing and drying cycles. Ensure washing machine settings are appropriate for delicate synthetic fabrics.
