Troubleshooting

Dress wrinkles easily

Tencel can wrinkle. Try steaming the garment or ironing on a low heat setting while slightly damp. Hanging the dress in a steamy bathroom can also help relax wrinkles.

Belt does not stay in place

Ensure the belt is securely fastened through the belt loops. If the loops are loose, consider having them slightly adjusted. For a more secure fit, tie a knot in the belt before fastening.

Fabric appears dull after washing

This may be due to harsh detergents or incorrect washing temperatures. Always use a mild detergent and cold water for washing Tencel. Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers.

Uneven colour in the colour block panels

This is unlikely unless there was a manufacturing defect. If the issue arose after washing, refer to the care instructions for washing Tencel to avoid colour bleeding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. The primary setup involves deciding how to style it. It can be worn on its own or as part of a two-piece ensemble. The included belt should be threaded through the belt loops and fastened to define the waist.

Compatibility: The dress is designed for women's sizing. It pairs well with various footwear, including block heels, stilettos, and elegant flats. It can also be layered with blazers, structured jackets, or cardigans for different looks or warmth.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Recommended to hand wash or use a gentle cycle on your washing machine with cold water. It is advisable to wash with similar colours.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang on a padded hanger. Avoid tumble drying, as this can damage the Tencel fibers and cause shrinkage.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting while the garment is still damp, or use a steam iron. Ironing on the inside can help preserve the fabric's surface. Ensure the iron is not too hot to prevent scorching.
