How should I care for the broderie anglaise fabric?

Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry. Iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Gently iron the dress on a low heat setting while slightly damp. Ensure it is laid flat to dry properly to minimize wrinkles.

Broderie anglaise appears snagged or pulled

Carefully try to gently pull the snagged thread back through to the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid pulling forcefully. If persistent, consult a professional seamstress.

Sizing feels slightly off for a petite frame

While designed for petite proportions, individual fit can vary. Consider minor alterations with a tailor for a perfect bespoke fit.
