Setup, Compatibility & Care

Since this is a ready-to-wear garment, there is no setup required. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the shirred bodice, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Air dry is recommended to prevent shrinkage or damage to the elasticized smocking. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
  3. Storage: Hang the dress in a cool, dry closet. Avoid heavy folding on the shirred sections to prevent loss of elasticity over time.
  4. Compatibility: This dress pairs well with a variety of summer footwear and light layering pieces like denim jackets for cooler evenings.
