Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after wear
Secure the thread by reinforcing the stitch with a matching color thread on the reverse side of the fabric.
Pleats losing definition
Lightly steam the pleated areas while the garment is hanging; avoid using a heavy iron directly on the pleats.
Fabric wrinkling during transport
Hang the dress in a bathroom while running a hot shower to allow the steam to relax the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dorothy Perkins dress remains in optimal condition, adhere to standard care practices. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature settings, but generally, a cool, delicate machine wash or hand wash is recommended to protect the button attachments and pleat integrity. Avoid tumble drying; instead, hang the dress on a padded hanger while damp to allow the pleats to settle naturally. For storage, use a garment bag if kept in a crowded closet to prevent the puff sleeves from losing their shape against other hangers.
