Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival
Gently steam the dress on a cool setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct high heat ironing.
Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

Bow tie is difficult to adjust
Loosen the bow slightly before attempting to adjust the waist. Ensure the fabric is not twisted where the bow is threaded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This dress requires no setup as it is a ready-to-wear garment. Its compatibility is primarily with formal or semi-formal wardrobes. Care instructions are crucial to maintain the fabric's integrity and appearance:
- Composition: Primarily Linen and Viscose.
- Care: Due to the delicate blend, dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the fabric's texture, sheen, and prevent shrinkage or damage. Always consult the care label on the garment for specific instructions.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and iron on the reverse side. For linen blends, a steamer can be an excellent alternative to pressing out wrinkles.
