Can I tumble dry this dress?

No, the dress should not be tumble dried. It should be air-dried, ideally flat, after reshaping while damp.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears creased after washing.

Ensure the dress is reshaped while damp and allow it to dry flat. If creases persist, iron on a low heat setting, paying attention to the fabric's care label.

Dress loses its shape over time.

Follow the care instructions diligently, particularly reshaping while damp and avoiding harsh washing or drying methods. Store the dress folded rather than on a hanger to maintain its structure.

Color appears faded.

Ensure the dress is washed inside out at 30 degrees. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, as this can cause colors to fade.
