Is the compact stretch fabric breathable?

How should I store this dress long-term?

Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or use a cool iron on the reverse side as per care instructions.
Fabric feels less stretchy than expected
Ensure the garment has not been exposed to excessive heat during washing or drying, which can degrade stretch fibers. Follow recommended care guidelines strictly.
Stain on white fabric
Address stains immediately. For minor spots, use a gentle stain remover suitable for delicate fabrics, testing on an inconspicuous area first. For significant stains, professional dry cleaning is advised.
Seams appear strained
This may indicate the garment is too tight. Avoid overstretching the fabric when dressing. If persistent, consider if a larger size would offer a better fit.
