Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing slightly wrinkled
Use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the metal hardware to avoid heat transfer.

Check the reverse side of the belt attachments for any small screws or fasteners that may need tightening with a precision tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always consult the specific care label attached to the interior of the dress. Given the cotton-based stretch construction and metal hardware, it is generally recommended to use a delicate wash cycle or dry clean. Avoid high-heat drying, as this can degrade the elasticity of the stretch fabric and potentially damage the integrated metal hardware on the belt. When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder dimples and to keep the waist belt hanging straight without twisting.
