Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing.
After washing, gently reshape the dress and lay it flat to dry. If wrinkles persist once dry, use a garment steamer or iron on a low heat setting with a damp cloth over the fabric.
Fabric feels scratchy or irritating.
While wool can sometimes feel slightly textured, ensure you've used a gentle, wool-specific detergent. Wearing a thin, soft base layer underneath can also help if you have sensitive skin.
Dress is pilling (small fabric balls forming).
Pilling can be common with wool blends. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or a specialized lint comb. To minimize pilling, wash gently and avoid excessive friction.
Dress seems to have lost its shape or stretched.
Ensure you are always laying the dress flat to dry and storing it folded, not on a hanger. Excessive hanging, especially when wet, can cause stretching. Follow the specific care instructions for wool to maintain its shape.
