Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or iron on a low, cool setting, preferably on the reverse side. Professional dry cleaning can also help remove stubborn wrinkles.

Fabric feels stiff

This is likely due to the double cloth weave, which is designed to hold structure. Ensure the garment is properly dry cleaned as per instructions. Natural fibers can soften slightly with wear.

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the brand's specific size guide for accurate measurements. The structured waist and flared skirt offer a specific fit; consider if the chosen size aligns with your body measurements.
