Troubleshooting
Dress arrived creased
Gently steam the dress on a low heat setting, focusing on the reverse side. Avoid direct heat on sheer panels. If creases persist, professional dry cleaning with steaming may be required.
Sheer panel appears snagged
Carefully inspect the snag. If minor, it may be possible to gently tease the fabric back into place with a fine needle. For significant snags, professional repair is advised.
Straps feel too loose or tight
The thin straps are typically part of the dress's fixed design. Minor adjustments might be possible with tailoring, but significant alterations should be discussed with a professional seamstress.
