What should I do if my dress or romper starts to pill?Updated 5 months ago

Pilling is a natural process that happens to most fabrics — even the most luxurious ones. Pilling doesn't necessarily mean that the garment is made of a poor-quality fabric, nor is it a reason to throw away or return it. These pesky fabric pills result from normal wear and tear—broken clothing fibers on the surface become tangled together. Over time, these threads clump together, forming the characteristic lint ball stuck to your clothing. After washing and drying your clothes, look to see if any pills remain. If so, you can carefully remove them using a fabric comb or battery-operated pill/lint remover. These methods help carefully cut or scrape away the fabric pills so they are no longer attached to your clothing.
