Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight after washing
This can sometimes occur if the dress was tumble dried or exposed to high heat. Lay flat to dry in a well-ventilated area and gently stretch the fabric to its original shape while damp. Avoid future high-heat drying methods.
Buttons feel loose
If buttons become loose, carefully re-sew them using a strong thread that matches the existing stitching. Ensure the thread is pulled taut to secure the button firmly.
Ribbed texture appears stretched or distorted
This often results from improper drying or stretching. Ensure the dress is always laid flat to dry and avoid pulling on the fabric unnecessarily. If distortion is minor, try gently reshaping it while damp.
