FAQs
What type of fabric is the dress made from?

What is the fit of the dress?

What are the fastening methods?

Is the dress suitable for very hot weather?

Can the embellishments be removed for washing?
The floral appliques are described as hand-sewn, implying they are permanent. It is best to follow the care instructions to preserve them.
Troubleshooting
Embellishments feel loose
Gently check for any loose threads or beads. If found, carefully hand-stitch them back in place to prevent loss.
Dress feels stiff after washing
Ensure you used a mild detergent and rinsed thoroughly. Air drying flat can help prevent stiffness. Ironing on a low setting may also help relax the fabric.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it up and down. Applying a small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil tip) or clear lip balm to the zipper teeth can help.
