I bought a dress that is polyester/spandex. While I love the dress, I hate the pleats. The pleats seem to be pressed not sewn in, but i dont want to chance it and ruin the dress. Is it something I can try myself or should I just deal?
Sounds like the proportioning valve. They don't just start leaking, sounds like you have a break line issue. Check the break lines.
Depending on the pleats and how long they are you might try experimenting with white vinegar, a hot (as hot as the material will take) iron with steam and a pressing clothdo this from the wrong side in an inconspicuous spot firstBy the way, it is very smelly but the smell will dissipate
