Ensure the dress is laid flat to dry. If it has stretched, try reshaping it gently while damp and allow it to dry completely. For significant shape loss, consider professional dry cleaning.
Pilling or snagging on the knit fabric.
Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver or comb. Be cautious of jewelry or accessories that could catch on the knit. Store the dress carefully to avoid snags.

Avoid harsh detergents or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Adhere strictly to the recommended dry cleaning or hand-washing instructions.
