Troubleshooting
Tassels becoming tangled
Gently separate the tassels by hand. If significantly tangled, professional cleaning may be required to untangle them without damage.
Bandage knit losing its shape
Ensure the dress is stored flat or hung carefully on a padded hanger. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe. Follow professional dry cleaning instructions strictly.
Snagging on the tassel hem
Be cautious when wearing jewelry or bags. If a snag occurs, do not pull. Carefully try to ease the snagged thread back into place, or consult a professional tailor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
This is a garment, and as such, setup is not applicable. Compatibility refers to styling options. The dress is designed to be styled with complementary accessories. For care, given the delicate nature of the bandage knit and the tassel hem, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the integrity and appearance of the fabric and embellishments. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying. Ironing should be done on a low heat setting, potentially with a pressing cloth, focusing on the knitted areas and avoiding direct heat on the tassels.
