Can the belt be removed or replaced?

What footwear pairs well with this midi dress?

Troubleshooting

Dress does not lay flat or hold shape.

Ensure the dress is properly stored on a hanger. If creased, use a cool iron on the reverse side. Dry cleaning can help restore its structure.

Belt buckle feels stiff.

Gently work the buckle back and forth. If it persists, avoid forcing it. Contact customer service for further assistance.

Fabric feels too stiff for comfort.

Cotton-rich fabrics can soften slightly with wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size, as a too-tight fit can exacerbate stiffness.
