Can I adjust the fit of the dress?

What are the care instructions for the satin bow detail?
The bow detail should be treated with care. Professional dry cleaning is advised, and any steaming should be done on a cool setting from a distance.
Troubleshooting
Dress does not drape as expected
Ensure the dress is hung properly and allow it to naturally settle. For minor creases, use a cool steam setting from a distance.
Satin bow detail appears creased
Gently steam the bow on a low setting from a distance, or consult a professional dry cleaner for delicate steaming.
Neckline slips or feels insecure
Consider using fashion tape to secure the neckline to the skin, or wear a strapless or adhesive bra for added support.
Fabric appears dull after storage
Ensure the dress is stored in a breathable garment bag away from direct light. A professional dry clean can often restore the fabric's sheen.
