How should I store the dress to keep it in good condition?

Is the wool material warm?
Yes, 100% wool is known for its natural insulating properties, making the dress suitable for cooler weather. However, it can also be worn in warmer months if styled appropriately, as wool is breathable.

Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage.
Gently steam the garment on a low setting or have it professionally pressed. Avoid direct high heat.
Wool feels slightly itchy.
This can sometimes occur with wool. Ensure the dress is properly dry-cleaned, which can soften the fibers. Wearing a fine-knit base layer underneath can also provide additional comfort.
Zipper is difficult to close.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, consult a tailor for repair.
