Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the garment in pristine condition, it is essential to follow the specific care requirements for wool. Always refer to the garment's internal tag for precise washing instructions, which typically necessitate hand washing or a gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging the gold-tone buttons. Due to the wool content, air drying is recommended rather than using a tumble dryer, which can cause the fabric to shrink or lose its shape. When storing, fold the dress or use a padded hanger to prevent the weight of the knit from distorting the shoulder or waist seams over time. The dress is highly compatible with classic accessories like leather belts or simple stud earrings that complement the military-themed hardware.
