Troubleshooting
Dress does not drape as expected
Ensure the correct size is selected. The fabric's structure provides a specific silhouette; pairing with appropriate footwear (e.g., heels) can enhance the intended drape.
Fabric feels too structured

Colour bleeding during washing
Always follow the specific washing instructions on the care label. Wash with similar colours in cold water to prevent colour transfer.
