Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight in the waist
The defined peplum waist is designed for a close fit. Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If the fit is uncomfortable, consider a different style or consult a tailor for minor adjustments if feasible.
Asymmetric neckline does not lay flat
Ensure the dress is fully zipped and the fabric is smoothed around the neckline and shoulder area. The draping is intentional; slight adjustments may be needed after movement.
Fabric appears creased after storage
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Always follow the 'Dry Clean Only' instruction for significant creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Dry Clean Only: To preserve the fabric's structure and the intricate details of the draping and peplum, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct heat on embellishments or detailed areas.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded or sturdy hanger to maintain its shape, especially around the shoulders and waist.
