Is the faux leather material durable?
High-quality faux leather is designed for durability. Proper care as outlined in the care instructions will help maintain its appearance and longevity.
Does the front slit affect the dress's modesty?

Troubleshooting
Faux leather creasing or wrinkling
Hang the dress on a padded hanger and allow time for creases to drop out. For stubborn wrinkles, iron on a very low heat setting with a protective cloth over the fabric, or use a steamer.
Stiff material
Faux leather can sometimes feel stiff. Gently massage the fabric or wear it a few times to help it relax and conform to your body. Avoid excessive heat, which can damage the material.
Discoloration from contact
Avoid prolonged contact with dark or printed fabrics, especially when the dress is new or in warm conditions, as dye transfer can occur. Store separately from other garments.
