What occasions is this dress suitable for?

How do I care for the ponte fabric?
It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Iron on a low setting if needed.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival
Hang the dress for a few hours or use a steamer on a low setting. If necessary, iron on a low temperature, preferably inside out.
Belt does not stay securely fastened
Ensure the buckle is correctly threaded through the belt loop. If the belt material is stiff, it may loosen slightly with wear. Adjusting to a tighter fit can help.
Fabric feels stiff
Ponte fabric is naturally structured. The dress will soften slightly with wear and gentle washing according to care instructions.
