Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after delivery or storage.
Gently steam the dress on a low setting, focusing on the pleated areas. Alternatively, carefully iron on a low heat from the reverse side.
Pleats are losing their shape.
Ensure the dress is stored correctly on a hanger and avoid overcrowding your wardrobe. Professional dry cleaning with specific pleating care can help restore them.
The V-neckline feels too deep.
Consider using subtle fashion tape to adjust the neckline or layering with a delicate camisole underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
This woven midi dress requires no 'setup' in the technical sense. Its compatibility is primarily with formal and semi-formal occasions. For care, due to the delicate pleating and trim details, it is recommended to follow specific cleaning instructions to maintain the garment's integrity:
- Washing: Hand wash or dry clean is advised. Avoid machine washing to preserve the pleats and fabric structure.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron the dress inside out. Pay special attention to the pleated areas and ruffle details; steaming might be a safer option for these.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to avoid creasing and store it in a breathable garment bag.
