What type of undergarments should I wear with the V-neckline?

Troubleshooting
Dress wrinkles easily.
Hang the dress immediately after washing and drying. Use a steamer or a low-heat iron to gently remove wrinkles. Consider a fabric protector spray designed for ponte.
Belt feels loose or slides.
Ensure the belt is tied securely. If the material is slippery, consider adding a small, discreet non-slip grip to the inside of the belt where it fastens.
Color fading.
Wash the dress inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Ponte Belted Maxi Dress, it is recommended to follow the care label instructions closely. Typically, ponte fabric garments benefit from gentle washing, such as hand washing or a delicate machine cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat during washing or drying, as this can damage the fabric fibers and affect the garment's shape. Iron on a low setting if necessary.
