Troubleshooting

Fringe tangling

Gently detangle individual strands with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Store the dress spread out or loosely folded to minimize tangling.

Dress losing shape

Ensure the dress is stored correctly on a suitable hanger and avoid overcrowding your wardrobe. Follow recommended washing and drying instructions meticulously.

Stains on the knit

Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For more significant stains, professional dry cleaning is advised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is ready to wear upon arrival; no setup is required. It is designed as a standalone piece for women's fashion.

Care Instructions:

Due to the delicate nature of the knit and the fringe detailing, hand washing or dry cleaning is strongly recommended to maintain the garment's shape and integrity. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the knit structure and the fringe.

When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or distortion, especially around the dropped waist and fringe.

Ironing should be done on a low heat setting, preferably with a pressing cloth, or steam lightly to remove any creases. Be cautious to avoid direct heat on the fringe.
