Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage.
Gently steam the dress on a low heat setting or use a cool iron on the reverse side. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before wearing.

Care Instructions:
- Material: Primarily Linen blend with intricate lace detailing.
- Washing: Due to the delicate nature of the lace and potential for shrinkage or damage, dry clean only is recommended to preserve the garment's shape and fabric integrity.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting. It is advisable to iron on the reverse side of the fabric, particularly over the lace. Alternatively, steaming is a safer option for maintaining the fabric's texture and preventing damage.
