Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your dress, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cool water to prevent fading of the floral print.
- Drying: Air dry by hanging the dress to maintain the integrity of the shirred bodice and prevent shrinkage.
- Ironing: Use a medium-heat iron. Focus on the contrast binding trim, but avoid direct contact with any synthetic embellishments if present.
- Storage: Store on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the sweetheart neckline and prevent strap stretching.
