Belt does not stay fastened
Ensure the belt buckle is properly secured. If the issue persists, consider adding a small piece of double-sided tape to the inside of the belt for extra grip.
Sizing feels slightly off despite being petite

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This is a ready-to-wear garment and requires no setup. It is designed for women within the petite size range. Care instructions typically involve professional dry cleaning to maintain the integrity of the structured crepe fabric and the pressed pleats. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the material and the garment's shape. Store the dress on a padded hanger to preserve its form and prevent creasing. If minor wrinkles appear, a cool iron on the reverse side or a steamer can be used cautiously, following fabric care guidelines.
