Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival
Gently steam the dress or iron on a medium setting as per care instructions. Linen naturally creases, so some wrinkling is expected.
Fit around the waist is not as expected
Consider professional tailoring for a custom fit. The darted waist is designed for a specific silhouette.
Color fading after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, prioritizing dry cleaning. If hand washing, use cold water and mild detergent, and avoid prolonged sun exposure during drying.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Due to the linen fabric, it is recommended to dry clean this dress to maintain its shape and texture. Alternatively, a gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent may be possible, but proceed with caution as linen can shrink or lose its crispness if not handled properly.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight.
- Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting while the garment is still slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth. Focus on pressing out wrinkles from the skirt and bodice areas. Be mindful of the darted details.
- Storage: Store in a breathable garment bag to protect from dust and prevent creasing.
