Ensure the straps are adjusted to your height to properly align the bodice seams; if the fit remains uncomfortable, consult a professional tailor for minor adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this dress is crafted from cotton, it should be treated with care to maintain its structural integrity. Always check the internal garment tag for specific washing instructions. It is recommended to use gentle laundering cycles or professional dry cleaning to prevent damage to the contrast stitching. Store the dress on a padded hanger to prevent the spaghetti straps from stretching or slipping. When traveling, use a garment bag to protect the fabric from snagging.
