Troubleshooting
Dress wrinkles easily
Gently steam the dress or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For storage, use a padded hanger and avoid over-stuffing your wardrobe. A light iron on a cool setting can be used if necessary, following fabric care guidelines.
Belt buckle tarnishes
Gently wipe the gold hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, or harsh chemicals that can affect the metal's finish. Store the dress so the buckle is not rubbing against other items.
Wrap skirt comes undone
Ensure the internal tie (if present) is securely fastened before tying the main belt. For added security, consider a few discreet stitches to hold the wrap in place if this is a recurring issue.
Fabric feels stiff after cleaning
This can sometimes happen with linen blends. Gently air out the dress or give it a light steam. Ensure the recommended cleaning method was followed precisely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This dress requires no setup upon arrival. As a garment, its primary care instructions revolve around maintaining the fabric and hardware. It is recommended to follow the care label instructions closely, which typically involve dry cleaning for viscose-linen blends to preserve the fabric's integrity and drape. Hand washing on a cool setting may be an option for light soiling, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying. The gold hardware should be gently wiped with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its finish; avoid abrasive cleaners. Store the dress on a padded hanger to prevent creasing and maintain its shape. Ensure the belt is fastened loosely when storing to avoid unnecessary stress on the fabric.
