Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing
Ensure you are using a low heat setting for ironing and iron while the garment is slightly damp. Consider using a steam iron for stubborn wrinkles.
Broderie detailing looks pulled or damaged
Avoid harsh washing or drying methods. Hand wash gently and lay flat to dry. If ironing, use a very low heat setting and avoid direct pressure on the embroidered areas.
Belt does not lay flat
Ensure the belt is threaded correctly through the loops. If the belt itself is creased, try ironing it on a low setting with a protective cloth.
Color seems faded
Always wash colored garments in cold water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, as this can cause fading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold, or hand wash for best results, especially due to the broderie detailing. Use a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid tumble drying on high heat, as it can cause shrinkage and damage the fabric.
- Ironing: Iron on a low setting. It may be beneficial to iron the dress while slightly damp or use a steam iron to remove wrinkles, particularly around the collar and cuffs. Ensure the broderie areas are ironed carefully to avoid damage.
