Troubleshooting
Wrinkling of the cotton fabric
Use a garment steamer or iron on a low setting specifically around the collar and hem areas.
Hem dragging on the ground
Pair the dress with shoes that have a slight heel or platform to provide the necessary height for the maxi length.
Collar losing shape
Use a light starch spray when ironing to help the collar maintain its intended structured appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this dress is made of cotton, proper maintenance is essential to retain its color and fit. Always check the internal garment tag for specific washing instructions. Generally, it is recommended to wash in cool water on a gentle cycle to prevent shrinking. Hang the dress to air dry to protect the fibers, and iron the collar on a low heat setting to ensure it remains sharp and structured. When choosing accessories, the simple collar design pairs beautifully with delicate pendant necklaces or stud earrings that do not compete with the neckline detail.
