Troubleshooting
Belt buckle becomes loose during wear
Ensure the belt is threaded securely through the loops and that the pin is fully engaged in the desired hole; avoid excessive pulling.
Fabric looks wrinkled after storage
Use a professional garment steamer on the lowest heat setting, maintaining distance from the fabric to gently release creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Storage: Hang the dress using sturdy padded hangers to prevent the weight of the cape from distorting the shoulders.
- Cleaning: Given the structural nature of the fabric and the gold-tone hardware, professional dry cleaning is recommended. Do not attempt to machine wash, as it may damage the belt buckle or alter the drape of the cape.
- Travel: If transporting, carry the dress in a garment bag. Use a steamer on a low setting if the fabric develops creases, keeping the nozzle away from the gold-tone buckle.
