Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the embroidery and the denim fabric, wash the dress inside out using a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can lead to shrinkage and potential snagging of the embroidered floral patterns. When styling, the blue denim colour family pairs exceptionally well with tan, cream, or metallic accessories. Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the puff sleeves and prevent shoulder creases.
