Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to close or open.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stuck, a small amount of graphite from a pencil applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.

Dress loses shape after washing.

Ensure you are following the 'machine wash cold' instruction and consider air drying instead of machine drying. Reshape the dress while damp and lay flat to dry.

Embroidery appears damaged.

Inspect the embroidery carefully. If minor threads are loose, try to gently trim them. Avoid direct heat or excessive rubbing on the embroidered areas during washing and ironing.

Built-in bustier feels uncomfortable or ill-fitting.

Ensure the dress is the correct size. The bustier is integrated and cannot be adjusted. Consider if the material of the bustier is suitable for your comfort level.
