Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their crisp shape
Use a garment steamer at a low setting to gently relax fibers and reset the pleats, or lightly press with an iron using a protective cloth barrier.
Buttons appearing loose
Check the stitching on the buttons periodically; if loose, secure them with a needle and thread matching the button color to prevent loss.
Creasing during storage
Store the dress hanging rather than folded, and allow it to breathe in a cool, dry place to naturally release light wrinkles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dorothy Perkins dress, follow the garment's internal care label closely. Generally, for items with button and pleat details, gentle hand washing or a delicate machine cycle is recommended to prevent damage. Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as this can affect the structure of the pleats and the fit of the sleeves. When storing, hang the dress on a sturdy, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the puff sleeves and prevent unwanted creasing in the skirt area. This dress is available in a variety of UK sizes, ensuring compatibility with different body frames.
