What are the washing instructions for this dress?

Always check the care label on the garment. Typically, 100% viscose is best cared for by hand washing in cold water or dry cleaning to maintain its quality.

Can the voluminous sleeves be altered?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Ensure the dress is hung or laid flat to dry. If ironing is needed, use a low heat setting and consider ironing while the fabric is slightly damp or using a steamer.

Fabric feels stiff

This can sometimes occur with viscose. Try a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent. Ensure it is thoroughly rinsed. A fabric softener is generally not recommended for viscose.

Color seems to fade

Wash the dress inside out in cold water. Use a detergent designed for dark or colored fabrics. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a dress, there is no 'setup' required beyond wearing it. The dress is compatible with a variety of footwear and accessories. Care instructions recommend checking the garment's label for specific washing directives, but generally, 100% viscose garments benefit from gentle care. Hand washing in cold water or dry cleaning is often recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and color. Avoid machine drying, and if ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting.

  • Check the care label for precise instructions.
  • Consider hand washing in cold water.
  • Dry cleaning is often a safe option for viscose.
