Troubleshooting
Dress appears to have shrunk after washing
Ensure you followed the care label instructions precisely, especially regarding water temperature and drying methods. Air dry and gently stretch the fabric back into shape if possible.
Color fading after a few washes
Wash the dress inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid exposing the dress to direct sunlight for prolonged periods when drying.
Shirring losing elasticity
Avoid high heat when washing and drying, as this can degrade elastic fibers. Hand washing and air drying are the best methods to maintain elasticity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This dress requires no specific setup. It is designed for direct wear.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: It is recommended to check the care label for precise instructions, but generally, hand washing or a gentle machine cycle with cold water is advised for wool and cotton blends to preserve the fabric and color.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent shrinkage and fading.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side of the fabric. Consider using a pressing cloth for delicate fabrics.
