Troubleshooting
Visible tension on button placket
Ensure the waist belt is not cinched too tightly, which may cause pulling on the buttons; adjust the belt for a more relaxed, comfortable fit.
Fabric appears too sheer
Layer with a high-quality, solid-coloured silk or cotton camisole that matches the underlayer's tone to increase opacity while maintaining the sheer effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the embroidered organdie fabric, it is recommended to store the dress on a padded hanger to prevent misshaping the structured bodice. When styling, choose flesh-toned seamless undergarments to complement the semi-transparent nature of the overlay. Due to the delicate nature of the botanical embroidery and the sheer fabric, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Always fasten the buttons and tie the belt loosely during storage to avoid creating unnecessary tension on the buttonholes or the fabric sash.
