Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom to allow creases to relax naturally.
Pleats losing definition over time
Take the dress to a professional cleaner specifically for a 'press and refresh' service to restore the original crisp pleat lines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this garment is crafted from wool, proper care is essential to maintain the integrity of the tailoring. Avoid machine washing; professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the sharp lines of the pinstripe fabric and the structure of the pleats. When storing, ensure the dress is hung on a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent sagging at the shoulders. Given its tailored fit, it is compatible with most standard formal layering pieces, such as a slim-fit blazer or a structured wool coat during colder months.
