Can I machine wash this dress?

It is recommended to hand wash or dry clean the dress to preserve its shape and fabric integrity. Machine washing is not advised.

Does the bandage knit offer stretch?

Yes, bandage knit typically offers significant stretch and is designed to contour and sculpt the body.

What is the length of the dress?

How should I care for the ruffle hem?

The ruffle hem should be handled gently. Lay the dress flat to dry and avoid harsh pressing. Hand washing is best to maintain its structure.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Bandage knit is designed to be form-fitting; if it feels restrictive, consider if a larger size is needed or if it's the intended fit.

Ruffle hem losing shape

Ensure the dress is laid flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. If needed, carefully press the ruffles following care instructions.

Fabric snagging

Be cautious of sharp jewelry or accessories that could snag the knit. Handle with care during wear and washing.

Color fading

Wash with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.
