What is the fabric of the dress?
The dress is crafted from airy chiffon fabric throughout, with a 100% Polyester composition.
How do I care for the pleated skirt?
The accordion pleats require careful maintenance. Dry cleaning is recommended. If ironing is needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side, and professional pleat maintenance is advised.
Does the dress come in other colors?

Is the dress suitable for warmer weather events?

Troubleshooting
Dress arrived creased
Refer to professional dry cleaning services for pleat maintenance. If minor creases are present, a cool iron on the reverse side may help, but professional care is recommended for best results.
Cape sleeves do not have enough 'billow'
Ensure the fabric is fully de-creased. The movement of the sleeves is inherent to the chiffon's lightweight nature and how it catches the air; moving with purpose will enhance their effect.
Fabric snagged
Minor snags may be carefully trimmed with small scissors. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or seamstress.
