Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Gently iron on a low heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steamer. Ensure proper drying techniques are followed.

Gold buckle feels loose or damaged

Inspect the buckle attachment. If it is a fastening issue, try re-securing it gently. If damaged, professional repair might be needed.

Fabric feels stiff after drying

Ensure you are using a gentle washing cycle and cold water. A light steam or gentle iron can help restore the fabric's natural drape.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the viscose linen blend, hand washing in cold water or a gentle machine cycle on a low temperature is recommended.
  • Drying: Avoid tumble drying. Lay the garment flat or hang it to air dry, preferably out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, preferably while the garment is slightly damp, or use a steamer to remove wrinkles and maintain the fabric's drape. Iron on the reverse side to protect the fabric finish and the gold buckle.
  • Storage: Store on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing.
