The dress is crafted from 100% viscose satin-weave fabric.

How should I care for the satin-weave fabric?

It is recommended to hand wash or dry clean only. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying. Iron on a low setting on the reverse side with a pressing cloth.

Can this dress be styled for cooler weather?

What accessories pair well with this dress?

Simple accessories like flat leather sandals, strappy heeled mules, a sleek clutch bag, and delicate gold jewelry complement the dress without competing with the print.

Is this dress suitable for all body types?

The midi length and draped cowl neckline are generally flattering. However, the fit can vary, and the midi length may require heels for some individuals to achieve optimal proportions.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears dull after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle hand wash method and avoiding harsh detergents. For stubborn dullness, consider professional dry cleaning. Always dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight.

Dress is creased after storage.

Hang the dress on a padded hanger to allow creases to fall naturally. If needed, iron on a low setting on the reverse side with a pressing cloth. Avoid excessive folding.

Seams or embellishments (twist detail) appear stressed.

Avoid pulling or stretching the fabric unnecessarily. Ensure the garment fits correctly. If stress is visible, consult a professional tailor for potential reinforcement.
