Troubleshooting

Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, which can damage the fabric and structure. When storing, hang the dress in a breathable garment bag to prevent wrinkles and protect it from dust. If minor wrinkles occur, a garment steamer on a low setting can be used, taking care not to directly touch the fabric with high heat. Always refer to the garment's care label for specific instructions.
