How should I store this dress?

Troubleshooting
Belt buckle not sitting centered
Ensure the waist seam is aligned correctly on your hips before tightening the belt; rotate the belt so the buckle aligns with your natural navel line.
Pleats look wrinkled after storage
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a garment steamer on a very low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to gently release wrinkles without damaging the pleats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the garment's integrity, ensure you select the appropriate undergarments—specifically those suited for an open-back halterneck. When putting on the dress, fasten the halterneck first, then adjust the waist belt for a personalized fit. Regarding care, the pleated skirt requires attention to prevent crushing; it should be hung on a high-quality hanger immediately after use. Given the combination of woven and draped fabrics, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the shape of the bodice and the precision of the pleats.
