Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage
Hang the dress on a suitable hanger and allow it to air for a few hours. If creases persist, steam lightly on a cool setting, ensuring the iron does not touch the fabric directly, or consult a professional dry cleaner for pressing.
Bow detail loses its shape
Gently reshape the bow by hand while the fabric is slightly damp or steamed. Avoid machine washing or harsh handling, as this can damage the embellishment.
Fabric feels too warm for the occasion
Layer with a lightweight, breathable jacket or blazer that can be removed indoors. Opt for lighter undergarments.
