Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage

Hang the dress to allow wrinkles to fall out naturally. If needed, use a steamer or iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth.

Loss of structure in the bodice

Ensure the dress is stored properly, either hung or folded carefully to avoid crushing the structured elements. Refer to care instructions for washing guidance.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners which can impact the fabric's structure. Air dry flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a dress, there is no setup required beyond standard wear. The dress is compatible with various accessories and footwear for different occasions.
