Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Polyester jacquard can wrinkle. Gently steam the dress or iron it on a low heat setting, preferably inside out, to smooth out creases.

Fabric feels stiff or less soft

Ensure you use a mild fabric softener during the wash cycle if suitable for the material. The fabric may also soften slightly with continued wear and washes.

Color appears to be fading

Always wash the dress in cold water with similar colors. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying, as UV rays can cause fading.

Dress clings to the body (static)

Use an anti-static spray before wearing. Adding a quarter cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle during washing can also help reduce static build-up.

Puff sleeves lose their shape

After washing, gently reshape the puff sleeves while the dress is damp. Store the dress on a hanger that allows the sleeves to drape naturally without crushing.

  • Bags: Crossbody bags, tote bags, or small clutches depending on the occasion.

Care Instructions

To ensure your Floral Jacquard Puff Sleeve Midi Dress maintains its quality and appearance, follow these general care guidelines for polyester jacquard fabric:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Using a mesh laundry bag can offer extra protection.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and fade the pattern.
  3. Drying: Hang to dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Remove promptly to minimize wrinkles. Avoid high heat, as it can damage polyester fibers.
  4. Ironing: If needed, iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out to protect the jacquard texture. A steamer is also an excellent option for removing wrinkles gently.
  5. Storage: Store on a padded hanger to prevent creases and maintain the dress's shape.

> Info needed: Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for precise instructions, as details may vary.
