Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Linen is naturally prone to wrinkling. Try ironing the dress while it is still slightly damp on a medium heat setting, or use a steam iron. For significant wrinkles, a gentle tumble dry on low heat for a few minutes followed by immediate removal and ironing can help, but air drying is generally preferred.

Color fading

To prevent color fading, always wash the dress in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Washing inside out can also offer additional protection.

Shrinkage after washing

Linen can shrink if exposed to high heat. Ensure you are washing on a cool cycle and air drying. Avoid using a tumble dryer on high heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This dress requires minimal setup – simply unpack and wear. It is compatible with standard washing machines. For optimal care and to preserve the quality of the linen:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool or delicate cycle (typically 30°C or 86°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent suitable for delicates.
  3. Drying: It is best to air dry the dress. Hang it on a suitable hanger away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and minimize excessive wrinkling. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage linen fibers and cause shrinkage.
  4. Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a medium heat setting while the garment is still slightly damp, or use a steam iron. Iron on the reverse side where possible.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging in tightly packed wardrobes to allow for air circulation.
