Troubleshooting

Velvet fabric appears creased

Gently steam the garment on the reverse side on a low setting or consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming services. Avoid direct ironing on the velvet pile.

Taffeta bow straps feel delicate

Handle the bow straps with care to avoid snagging or pulling. When cleaning, ensure they are not subjected to excessive friction.

Dress does not drape as expected

Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a padded hanger. Allow the fabric to naturally relax after unpacking. If the issue persists, consult the care label for professional advice.
