Troubleshooting

Dress appears too loose at the waist

Adjust the integrated belt to a tighter notch to cinch the fabric and define your silhouette.

Puff sleeves lose their volume

Gently steam the sleeve area rather than ironing directly to fluff the fabric and restore its original shape.

Visible wrinkles on the floral print

Use a garment steamer while the dress is hung up to smooth out wrinkles without applying direct heat pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the floral pattern and the puff sleeve shape, machine wash on a delicate cycle using cold water. Avoid harsh bleaching agents to protect the pink tones. It is recommended to hang the dress to dry immediately after washing to prevent heavy creasing. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and focus on the collar and cuffs to refresh the shirt-style structure. Regarding compatibility, this item is part of a size-inclusive range (UK 8 through UK 18), ensuring a consistent fit across different body sizes by utilizing the adjustable belt feature.
