What type of fabric is the dress made from?

How do I care for the botanical print?

Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage.

Color fading on the print.
Ensure the dress is washed in cold water and dried away from direct sunlight. Avoid harsh detergents.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent. A fabric softener can be used sparingly on the final rinse if appropriate for the fabric type, but check the care label.
