Troubleshooting
Dress loses shape after washing.
Ensure the dress is laid flat to dry and avoid hanging it while wet. Follow specific wool care instructions, preferably dry cleaning.
Wool blend feels itchy.
Ensure the garment is properly cared for and has not been over-washed, which can sometimes make wool fibers feel rougher. Wearing a fine-gauge slip underneath can also add a layer of comfort.
