How do I care for the botanical print?

To preserve the print, it's best to follow the care label. Generally, washing in cold water, avoiding harsh chemicals, and drying away from direct sunlight will help maintain the vibrancy of the print.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the dress or iron on a cool setting on the reverse side of the fabric. Hanging the dress can also help release minor creases.

Color fading on the print.

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

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

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.

Sleeve shape is lost after washing.

Gently reshape the balloon sleeves while the garment is damp and allow it to air dry flat or on a hanger.
