How should I store this dress to prevent creasing?

Can this dress be altered for length?

What occasions is this dress most suitable for?

How does the colour block design affect the dress's appearance?

Is the Tencel fabric breathable?

Troubleshooting
Fabric loses its drape or shape
Ensure the dress is being washed and dried according to the care instructions, specifically avoiding high heat and machine drying.
Colour bleeding during washing
Wash the dress separately in cold water for the first few washes to prevent colour transfer to other garments.
Wrinkles are difficult to remove
Try steaming the dress or ironing on a low heat setting on the reverse side. Ensure the fabric is slightly damp when ironing.
Halter neck tie comes undone
Ensure the knot is tied securely. If the fabric is very smooth, consider a double knot for extra security.
