What is the main material of the dress?

How should I properly care for this dress to maintain its quality?
Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

Air dry flat or on a padded hanger, and iron on a low setting if necessary, using a pressing cloth over the lace.
What is a 'midaxi' length?

Troubleshooting
Dress doesn't fit as expected
Consult the brand's size guide and compare your measurements to the dress's specific size (e.g., UK 8). Different brands may have slight variations in sizing. For minor adjustments, professional alterations may be an option.
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled
Due to the polyester material, light steaming or ironing on a very low-heat setting can smooth out wrinkles. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, and use a pressing cloth over the lace to protect it.
Lace or delicate features seem fragile or are snagged
Handle the dress with care, especially the lace overlay and puff sleeves. Store it on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent snags. For minor snags, gently coax the thread back into place. For more significant damage, professional repair may be required.

Care: Maintaining Elegance
To preserve the delicate lace and overall quality of your dress, proper care is essential:
- Check Garment Label: Always refer to the specific care instructions on the internal garment label first, as these are tailored to the dress's exact material and construction.
- Washing: Generally, for polyester and delicate lace, hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is recommended. If machine washing, use a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag to protect the lace, with cold water.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently reshape the dress and lay it flat on a clean towel or hang it on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, preferably inside out or using a pressing cloth to protect the lace and fabric. Avoid direct heat on the lace to prevent damage.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a wardrobe to maintain its shape and prevent creasing. Avoid overcrowding to prevent snags to the lace.
