How do I care for the fabric to maintain its shape?

Troubleshooting
Dress does not fit as expected.
Refer to the size guide and product measurements. Consider the stretch fabrication may offer some flexibility, but precise fit is key for the tailored design. Consult customer service if unsure about sizing.
Fabric appears creased after storage.
Hang the dress and allow it to relax. If creases persist, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer at a distance, or iron on the reverse side with low heat as per care instructions.
Seams appear strained.
Ensure the dress is not being overstretched during wear or when putting it on/taking it off. Check that the size is correct, as a too-tight fit can strain seams over time. Avoid excessive force.
