FAQs
Is this dress machine washable?
No, given the delicate floral tulle embroidery, dry cleaning is strongly recommended to protect the garment.
What material is the dress made of?
The dress is constructed from high-quality polyester, including the embroidery and the lining.
Does the cape overlay restrict arm movement?
No, the cape is designed as a soft overlay that sits comfortably over the shoulders, allowing for a full range of motion.
How should I store the dress?
Store it in a garment bag in a cool, dry place, ideally on a padded hanger to maintain the structure of the tulle.
Is the fabric itchy?
The body and skirt are fully lined with soft polyester to ensure the inner layers remain smooth and comfortable against the skin.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull up
Ensure the fabric lining is not caught in the teeth; pull the fabric away gently before operating the zipper.
Tulle has become wrinkled during storage
Use a professional garment steamer on the lowest setting; keep the steamer at least 6 inches away from the fabric to prevent heat damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the Needle & Thread Lea Ditsy Cape Dress in optimal condition, adhere to these care instructions:
- Storage: Hang the dress using a padded hanger to prevent the tulle from snagging and to maintain the shape of the cape overlay.
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate tulle embroidery, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the floral appliques.
- Handling: Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or sharp jewelry that could catch on the delicate tulle fabric.
- Wrinkles: If the skirt layers become wrinkled, use a handheld steamer on a very low setting, keeping a safe distance from the fabric, rather than using a traditional iron.
