Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to be pilling after wear.
Pilling can occur with knitted fabrics due to friction. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or a de-piller tool to restore the smooth appearance of the fabric. Avoid abrasive surfaces that can exacerbate pilling.
Dress feels stiff or slightly rough after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent, ideally one designed for wool or delicate garments. A small amount of fabric softener in the rinse cycle can help. Always air dry flat, as described in the care instructions, to maintain fabric softness and drape.
The dress seems to have stretched or lost its shape.
Improper drying or hanging while wet can cause knitted garments to stretch. Always reshape the dress while damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid hanging the dress on a hanger for storage; fold it neatly to maintain its original form.
Dress has static cling.
Static cling is common with synthetic blends. To reduce this, try using an anti-static spray on the inside of the garment, or adding a dryer sheet if you briefly tumble dry on a 'no heat' setting (though flat drying is preferred). Ensuring adequate humidity in your environment can also help.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and maintain the quality of your Scallop Detail Knitted Midi Dress:
- Washing: The dress is machine washable. Always check the specific care label inside the garment for recommended temperature and cycle settings. A gentle cycle with cold water is generally advisable for knitted items with wool content.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinking or damage to the knit. It is best to reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry on a clean surface or drying rack. This helps maintain its shape and prevents stretching.
- Storage: Store folded rather than hung to prevent stretching out of shape due to the weight of the knit fabric.
- Material: The blend of 47% Polyamide, 31% Acrylic, and 22% Wool contributes to both its warmth and durability. Polyamide and Acrylic help maintain shape and reduce pilling, while wool provides natural warmth.
