Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after wear.

Gently steam the dress or iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth. Avoid direct high heat on the linen fabric.

Cape sleeves feel restrictive.

Ensure the dress is the correct size and allow the fabric to relax. The design intentionally features flowing sleeves; minor adjustments may be needed for optimal comfort.

Print seems faded.

This is unlikely with a new garment. If the print appears to fade over time, it may be due to improper washing. Follow care instructions carefully.
