How do I care for this dress?

Dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the fabric's texture and the garment's structure. Iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side if necessary.

What is the fit of the dress?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting, focusing on areas that need it. Ensure the iron does not directly touch any hardware.

Fabric texture seems dull.

Ensure the dress has been professionally dry-cleaned as per care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or washing methods.
