Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Dress wrinkles easily

Hang the dress immediately after washing or wearing. Steam the garment on a low heat setting or use a cool iron with a pressing cloth. Avoid folding for extended periods.

Lace appears snagged

Carefully try to unhook the snag. If the thread is broken, it may be difficult to repair invisibly. Avoid wearing jewelry or accessories that could catch the lace.
