Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing
Iron the dress while slightly damp on a cool setting, or steam it. Ensure it is removed promptly from the dryer if tumble drying.
Shirring on bodice feels too tight
Gently stretch the shirred areas while damp. Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the provided size chart.
Fabric feels stiff
A few washes can often soften linen. Consider a fabric softener on a gentle cycle if recommended for linen blends.

Ensure the armholes are not too small for your build. The design allows for some movement, but individual fit can vary.
