Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage or travel.
Hang the dress immediately. Use a garment steamer on a low setting to gently smooth out wrinkles. Alternatively, iron on the lowest heat setting with a pressing cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
The shoulder bow looks flattened or out of shape.
Gently fluff and reshape the bow with your hands. If necessary, a light mist of water and gentle steaming can help restore its original form. Avoid pulling aggressively.

Refer to the size chart when purchasing, as the dress has little stretch. If the fit is slightly off, consider professional alterations for a perfect tailored look. Ensure you have accurately measured yourself against the brand's sizing guide.
Fabric appears dull or has a stain.
For best results, take the dress to a professional dry cleaner, informing them of any stains. For minor, fresh spots, gently blot (do not rub) with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
