Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

Can I tumble dry this dress?
It is recommended to air dry the dress to prevent potential fabric damage or shrinking from high heat cycles.

Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage
Lightly steam the garment or hang it in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to let the steam release creases naturally.
Waist fit feels too loose
Consider adding a stylish waist belt to pull in the fabric for a more defined silhouette.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your dress looking its best, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to preserve the fabric texture and print vibrancy.
- Drying: Air dry on a hanger to prevent shrinkage and maintain the original shape.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, keeping the temperature low to avoid damaging the polyester fibers.
- Storage: Hang the dress in a cool, dry place to prevent deep creases in the pleated waist area.
Because this is a regular-fit garment tailored for the petite range, consider checking your specific measurements against the sizing chart to ensure the pleated waist falls at your natural waistline.
