Troubleshooting
Snagging of the cutwork embroidery

Creasing during travel
Steam the garment lightly on a low setting, ensuring you keep the steamer head a few inches away from the delicate cutwork sections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always consult the internal care label for specific washing instructions. Given the complexity of the cutwork embroidery, it is highly recommended to hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle inside a protective garment bag to avoid snags. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach that could affect the vibrancy of the red dye. When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the halterneck and prevent creasing. The dress is true to size as a UK 18, and its structured woven cotton does not feature significant stretch, so ensure your measurements align with the fit for the best comfort.
