Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Use a garment steamer on a low heat setting to safely remove wrinkles without damaging the cotton fibers.
Smocking feels tight or restrictive
Gently stretch the bodice by hand while the fabric is slightly damp to help ease the elastic tension.
Color fading after washing
Always turn the dress inside out before washing and use a color-protectant detergent to maintain the vibrancy of the red hue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the cotton fabric and the elasticity of the smocked bodice, follow these guidelines: Wash the garment in cold water on a delicate cycle to prevent shrinking or damage to the smocking. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and texture of the dress. When styling, this dress is compatible with a wide range of accessories, including straw hats, denim jackets, or light cardigans for cooler evenings. Ensure you verify your UK dress size against the 85.5 cm length to ensure the intended fit.
