Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing or wearing.
Gently steam the dress on a low setting or iron on a cool iron setting with a pressing cloth. Ensure the fabric is slightly damp for easier wrinkle removal.
Gold hardware appears dull.
Gently polish the gold hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals that could damage the finish.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This is characteristic of the linen blend. Wearing the dress will help to soften it. Gentle steaming can also improve the drape.
Belt does not stay cinched.
Ensure the belt is tied securely. If the material is new, it may take some wear to hold a knot better. Ensure the buckle mechanism, if present, is properly fastened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This dress requires no setup; it is ready to wear. It is compatible with most standard garment care practices for fine fabrics.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Due to the delicate nature of the fabric blend (viscose, lyocell, linen), it is recommended to hand wash in cold water or opt for a professional dry clean to maintain the fabric's integrity and prevent shrinkage or damage.
- Drying: Lay flat or hang to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the fibers and affect the garment's structure.
- Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting. Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and hardware, especially around the gold-toned details. Steaming is also an effective way to remove wrinkles.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded or silk hanger to preserve its shape. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
