Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the sleeves
Use a handheld garment steamer from a short distance to gently relax the fabric without flattening the gathering.
Buttons feel loose after repeated wear
Check the placket buttons periodically; if one feels loose, reinforce the thread with a matching needle and thread to prevent loss.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment features intricate gathering and structured sleeve construction, proper storage is essential to prevent permanent creasing. Always hang the dress using wide-shouldered padded hangers to maintain the shape of the puff sleeves. When preparing for an event, steam the garment lightly rather than ironing directly, as high heat can damage the delicate floral print or the structured gathers. Check the internal label for specific material requirements, as variations in cotton or silk composition require different washing methods—typically dry cleaning is recommended for silk variants to protect the fibers.
