Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their definition
Ensure the dress is washed and ironed according to the care label instructions. Avoid excessive heat or improper pressing techniques.
Fabric feels stiff or loses structure
This is likely due to the structured nature of the cotton-rich fabric. Ensure proper washing and drying techniques are followed, and avoid over-drying.
Tie waist becoming difficult to adjust

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Due to the cotton-rich woven fabric and delicate pleating, it is recommended to check the garment's care label for specific washing instructions. Typically, a gentle machine wash on a cool setting or dry cleaning is advised to maintain the fabric's structure and prevent shrinkage or damage to the pleats.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying. Lay the dress flat or hang it on a padded hanger to air dry, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its shape.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting. Iron on the reverse side of the fabric, especially around the pleated areas, to avoid flattening the detailing. A pressing cloth can also be beneficial.
- Storage: Store the dress on a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and to prevent creasing.
