Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases in the taffeta

Skirt losing its initial volume
Gently shake or fluff the gathered layers of the skirt to redistribute the fabric and restore the structured shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the puffed skirt and the luster of the taffeta, store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to prevent crushing or sharp folds. When traveling, ensure the dress is packed in a spacious area where the skirt can retain its volume rather than being compressed under heavy luggage. Given the structure of the fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended to protect the integrity of the weave and the shape of the skirt. Avoid direct contact with sharp jewelry or bag clasps that could snag the delicate taffeta finish.
