Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Color fading on denim

Wash the dress inside out in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a garment, this dress requires no technical setup. Its primary compatibility is with your personal style and existing wardrobe. For care, follow the specific instructions on the garment's label. Generally, denim is best cared for by washing inside out in cold water to preserve color. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat drying, which can damage the fabric and cause shrinkage or fading.
