Troubleshooting
The side zipper feels stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and verify the dress is not pulled too tight across the torso; if the fit is too snug, the tension may prevent the zipper from moving smoothly.
Dress appears wrinkled after washing
Linen naturally wrinkles; use a garment steamer while the fabric is slightly damp to effectively smooth out creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this dress features a hidden side zip, ensure the zipper is fully unfastened before stepping into the garment to prevent strain on the seams. As it is made of linen, proper care is essential to maintain its shape and finish. It is recommended to hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle using cold water to prevent shrinking. Always hang to dry in a shaded area to preserve the rich brown color. To remove wrinkles, use a garment steamer on a low setting, as a high-heat iron can sometimes damage the fibers.
