Can I machine wash this dress?
It is recommended to hand wash the dress in cold water. If using a machine, select a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and cold water.
What is the length of the dress?

How do I care for the bold floral print?
To maintain the print's vibrancy, wash in cold water with mild detergent, avoid bleach, and air dry away from direct sunlight. Iron on a cool setting.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after washing.
Ensure the dress is ironed on a cool setting while slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth. Avoid overwringing before drying.
Print seems faded.
Use a mild detergent and cold water for washing. Avoid exposing the dress to direct sunlight for extended periods while drying.
Belt does not hold shape.
Ensure the belt is tied securely. If the fabric feels too soft, consider adding a very light starch during ironing (test on an inconspicuous area first).
