Does the dress include pockets?
The current design focuses on a clean, flowy silhouette and does not include integrated pockets.
Can I remove the waist belt?
The thin tie-belt is generally designed to be part of the dress structure; check if your specific unit has loops or if it can be untied completely.
How should I wash this dress?
It is recommended to follow the care label instructions, typically suggesting a gentle wash cycle in cold water and air drying to protect the fabric.
Is the fabric see-through?
The dress is crafted from a soft, lightweight fabric designed for opacity, though wearing skin-toned undergarments is always recommended for light-colored variants.
Troubleshooting
Tie-belt keeps slipping or coming undone
Tie the belt into a double knot or consider using a small safety pin on the inside of the belt loop to anchor it in place.
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron, which may flatten the delicate gathers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your dress, proper care is essential. Given the draped gathers and flounced hem, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle in cold water to prevent unnecessary stress on the fabric. Always avoid harsh bleaches or high-heat tumble drying, which could compromise the silhouette of the balloon sleeves. For storage, use a padded hanger to prevent the shoulder area from losing its shape. The dress is highly compatible with a variety of layers, such as denim jackets or tailored blazers, making it a functional piece across different seasons.
