Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep the Lea Ditsy Cape Dress in optimal condition, always follow the manufacturer's care instructions. Because the material is made from polyester and features delicate embroidery, it is not suitable for standard machine washing. Use spot cleaning with lukewarm water for any minor spills or marks. If ironing is necessary, do so only on the reverse side using a cool setting to avoid damaging the tulle or embroidery. Store the dress in a garment bag to prevent the delicate fabric from snagging on other items in the closet.
