Can I remove the belt?
Yes, the self-tie fabric belt is detachable, allowing you to wear the dress with or without it for a different silhouette.
How should I clean the dress?
Due to the intricate cutwork, professional dry cleaning or delicate hand washing is recommended to ensure longevity.
What kind of shoes match this dress?

Does the dress have pockets?

Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the fabric
Use a low-heat steam iron or a garment steamer, ensuring you avoid direct contact with the embroidery to prevent melting or snagging.
Embroidery thread snagging
Do not pull the thread. Carefully use small sewing scissors to trim any loose loops and avoid wearing jewelry that may catch on the cutwork.
Belt losing its shape
Remove the belt before washing and iron it separately on a cool setting to restore its structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the cutwork embroidery, always follow the garment's specific laundry instructions provided on the internal tag. Because the dress features intricate detailing, it is recommended to wash the item inside a garment bag if using a machine, or opt for hand washing to preserve the delicate structure. Ensure the dress is stored properly on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the flutter sleeves. The dress is best paired with neutral-toned footwear to highlight the cream color palette.
