Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dorothy Perkins dress retains its form and color, follow these care guidelines. Given the denim material, it is recommended to wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle to prevent fading of the floral print. Always air dry to preserve the integrity of the lace-up back components and the elasticated cuffs. When styling, this dress is compatible with a wide range of accessories; keep jewelry minimal to avoid snagging the lace-up back. For the best fit, ensure the lace-up feature is tightened to your comfort level before heading out, as this dictates the overall security of the bodice fit.
