Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?

While wool provides warmth, the maxi length and design might be more suited for transitional or cooler seasons. It can be styled for warmer evenings but is primarily designed for cooler temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or consult a professional dry cleaner for gentle pressing. Avoid direct ironing on high heat.

Wool fibers feel rough or appear to be pilling.

Minor pilling can often be gently removed with a fabric shaver or by carefully picking off loose fibers by hand. For significant pilling, consult a professional cleaner.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently rub a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate them. Avoid forcing the zipper, which could cause damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Dry Clean Only: To maintain the integrity and quality of the 100% wool fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
  • Avoid Washing Machine/Dryer: Do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the wool fibers, cause shrinkage, or alter the garment's shape.
  • Storage: Store on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or creasing. Ensure the area is dry and free from direct sunlight.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric, or opt for steam ironing on a low setting.
