What type of undergarments should I wear?
A seamless bra and underwear are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette under the dress. Depending on the fabric's opacity, a slip might be considered.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The product description does not specify stretch. It is advisable to check the material composition on the product label for details on elasticity.
How do I care for the pleats?
To maintain the pleats, follow the care label instructions diligently. Hand washing on a gentle cycle or machine washing on a delicate setting with cold water, and laying flat to dry are often best for pleated garments.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears too long after purchase.
Given it's a petite fit, it should be appropriately proportioned. If still too long, consider professional tailoring for hemming.
Pleats losing their shape.
Ensure you are following the specific care instructions for washing and drying, as high heat can affect pleats. Gentle ironing or steaming can help restore pleat definition.
Color fading after washing.
Wash with similar colors in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.
