FAQs
What material is this dress made from?
This dress is crafted from stretch wool, offering comfort and a flattering fit.
Is the dress machine washable?
Yes, this dress is machine washable. We recommend using a cold, delicate, or wool cycle and a wool-friendly detergent to best preserve the fabric.
What length is the dress?

How should I dry the dress after washing?
To maintain its shape and prevent shrinking, gently reshape the dress and lay it flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying or hanging when wet.
Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?
While wool provides some warmth, the stretch and short sleeves can make it suitable for mild to moderate temperatures. For very hot climates, you might prefer lighter fabrics.

Troubleshooting
Dress appears to have shrunk after washing.
Wool can shrink with high heat. Ensure you are washing on a `cold` or `delicate/wool` cycle and avoiding tumble drying. Gently try to reshape the damp garment by hand before laying flat to dry.
Fabric feels scratchy or rough after washing.
This can happen if harsh detergents are used or if the fabric needs conditioning. Use a wool-specific detergent and consider a wool conditioner or a gentle fabric softener during the rinse cycle. Ensure thorough rinsing.
Wrinkles are difficult to remove.
Wool naturally resists wrinkles, but if they occur, use a garment steamer or iron on a `low` setting with a pressing cloth. Allow the dress to hang in a steamy bathroom for a short period to relax fibers.
Dress is stretching out of shape.
Avoid hanging the dress when it's wet, as the weight of the water can cause stretching. Always lay flat to dry. When storing, fold it neatly or use padded hangers.
Color appears dull or faded.
Wash with cold water and a color-safe detergent. Avoid direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight when drying or storing, as this can bleach the fabric.

Care Instructions
This dress is made from wool and is machine washable. Proper care is crucial to prevent shrinking, stretching, or damage.
- Check the Label: Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions, as manufacturing processes can vary.
- Machine Wash Cold: Use a `delicate` or `wool` cycle with cold water to protect the wool fibers and prevent color fading. Hot water can cause wool to shrink.
- Use Wool-Friendly Detergent: Opt for a mild detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
- Wash Separately or with Like Colors: To prevent color transfer, wash with similar colors.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not overload the washing machine, allowing the dress to move freely.
- Gentle Spin: Use a low spin speed to remove excess water without putting stress on the fabric.
- Reshape and Lay Flat to Dry: After washing, gently reshape the dress and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface or a mesh drying rack. Avoid hanging wool dresses when wet, as this can cause them to stretch out of shape.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight/Heat: Do not dry in direct sunlight or use a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage wool fibers and cause shrinkage.
- Ironing (if needed): Iron on a `low` heat setting with a pressing cloth, or use a steamer to remove wrinkles. Avoid direct, high heat on the fabric.
- Storage: Store folded in a drawer or on a padded hanger to maintain its shape.
