Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or too loose
The dress is designed for a 'true to size' bodycon fit. If it feels too tight, you may need to size up. If it feels too loose, check if you accidentally purchased a size larger than your usual. Refer to the brand's size guide for accurate measurements.
Fabric appears wrinkled after washing
The 96% Viscose content can be prone to wrinkling. Lay the dress flat to dry or hang immediately after washing. Iron on a low setting inside out, or use a steamer for best results.
Print fading or looking dull
Always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Air drying (not tumble drying) will also help preserve the vibrancy of the animal print over time.
Dress loses its shape after wear/wash
The 4% Elastane provides stretch and shape retention. To maintain shape, avoid harsh wringing during washing and always air dry. Store on a suitable hanger rather than folding for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This section guides you on getting the most from your Dusk Animal Print Midi Stretch Dress, from choosing the right size to proper maintenance.
Sizing & Fit
- True to Size: The dress is designed for a `Regular fit` and is `True to size`. Refer to the brand's sizing chart if unsure, but generally, choose your standard dress size.
- Bodycon Expectation: Be aware that the `bodycon silhouette` means it will hug your figure. If you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up, though this might alter the intended drape.
Styling Recommendations
- Footwear: Pair with `sandals` or `wedges` for a classic summer look. For cooler weather or a different aesthetic, try `ankle boots` or `heeled mules`.
- Layering: Enhance versatility by layering with a `denim jacket`, `cardigan`, or `blazer`.
- Accessories: Let the `animal print` be the star. Opt for minimal jewelry or complementary solid-colored accessories to complete your outfit.
Care Instructions
Proper care helps maintain the dress's appearance and longevity.
- Machine Wash: Wash cold with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and print.
- Drying: *Do not tumble dry*. Lay flat to dry or hang dry to prevent stretching or shrinking. The `Viscose` content is prone to shrinking in high heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, inside out, to protect the print. A steamer can also be used for gentle wrinkle removal.
- Storage: Store on a hanger to help prevent wrinkles and maintain the dress's shape.
