Troubleshooting
Creasing during storage or transit

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your dress in pristine condition, always store it on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the puffed shoulders. Given the intricate cutwork and embroidery, avoid machine drying, which can cause the delicate patterns to fray. The dress is composed of high-quality cotton; as such, steam ironing is recommended over high-heat pressing to avoid crushing the texture. Always check the internal garment label for specific laundering instructions, and consider professional dry cleaning to ensure the white fabric remains vibrant and the embroidery stays intact.
