Troubleshooting
Dress feels itchy or uncomfortable
Wool can sometimes feel different against sensitive skin. Consider wearing a thin, smooth slip or lining underneath for added comfort. Ensure the dress is clean and free of detergent residue that might cause irritation.
Lace appears snagged or has loose threads
Carefully trim any loose threads with small, sharp scissors. Avoid pulling the lace, as this can worsen the snag. Handle the dress gently when wearing and washing to prevent further damage.
Dress doesn't drape as gracefully as expected
Ensure the dress is free of wrinkles. A professional steaming can help restore the fabric's natural drape. Check if the dress size is appropriate; an ill-fitting dress can affect its flow.
Stains on the wool/lace
For best results, address stains immediately. Blot (do not rub) the stain with a clean cloth. For wool, professional dry cleaning is often the safest and most effective solution for stubborn stains on this delicate material.

Care & Maintenance
Given the wool material and delicate lace, proper care is crucial to maintain the dress's quality and appearance.
- Read the Label: Always refer to the specific care label inside your dress for the most accurate instructions.
- Cleaning: The primary recommendation for wool and intricate lace is dry cleaning. If hand-washing is absolutely necessary:
- Use cold water and a mild detergent specifically designed for wool.
- Gently submerge the dress and swish it around; do not rub or twist.
- Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Drying: Never tumble dry. Gently press out excess water without wringing. Lay the dress flat on a clean towel or hang it on a padded hanger, away from direct sunlight or heat, to air dry.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a very low heat setting, preferably with a pressing cloth to protect the lace and wool. Avoid direct heat on the lace.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to help maintain its shape and prevent creasing. Keep away from direct sunlight.
