Gently shake the sleeves or steam them lightly while hanging to restore the volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress maintains its structure, follow these care steps:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water to preserve the fabric's integrity.
- Drying: Air dry on a hanger to keep the tiered hem and puff sleeves in their intended shape.
- Ironing: Use a medium-heat iron to remove creases, particularly around the ruched tie-front area.
- Storage: Hang the dress in a cool, dry place to prevent the puff sleeves from flattening.
