Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after unpacking or storage.
Gently steam the dress using a handheld steamer, or hang it in a steamy bathroom for 20-30 minutes. If ironing, use a very cool setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric to avoid damaging the crepe.
Ruffle detail doesn't sit correctly.
Ensure the dress is properly aligned on your body. Gently adjust the ruffle by hand to encourage its intended drape. If the issue persists, check the sizing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose, which can affect fabric hang.
Dress feels uncomfortable or restrictive when moving.
While the fabric has a touch of stretch, ensure you have selected the correct size according to the sizing chart. If the issue is persistent, consider the garment's intended fit for formal wear versus highly active movement.
Static cling is an issue with the polyester fabric.
Spray a light mist of anti-static spray on the inside of the dress. Alternatively, rub a dryer sheet over the affected areas to reduce static.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
This dress requires no specific 'setup' or 'compatibility' in the technical sense. Its primary considerations revolve around appropriate sizing and careful maintenance to preserve its elegant appearance.
Sizing: Refer to the brand's sizing guide to select the correct UK dress size (e.g., UK 8, UK 10, UK 12, UK 14, UK 16, UK 18). Ensure measurements align to achieve the intended `fitted bodice` and `flowing skirt` silhouette.
Care: The dress is crafted from `polyester crepe`. To maintain its quality and appearance:
- Cleaning: It is generally recommended to dry clean this garment to preserve the fabric's integrity and the ruffle's structure. If hand washing, do so in cold water with a mild detergent, gently swishing and avoiding harsh scrubbing.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry on a clean surface or hang on a padded hanger to maintain the dress's shape and prevent creasing, especially for the ruffle detail.
- Ironing/Steaming: Use a cool iron setting if needed, always ironing on the reverse side. A garment steamer is often preferred to remove wrinkles, as it is gentler on the fabric and helps maintain the drape of the ruffle without direct heat.
- Storage: Store on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent stretching or creasing.
