Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled or creased
Gently steam the dress to remove wrinkles. Alternatively, use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth, or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes.
Fit doesn't feel right around the waist
Ensure the defined waistband is positioned at your natural waist for the intended flattering effect. Consider checking other available sizes if the current fit is consistently uncomfortable, as various sizes from UK 8 to 22 are offered.
Fabric snags easily
Chiffon is a delicate fabric. Be mindful of potential snags from jewelry, handbags with sharp edges, or rough surfaces. Handle the dress with care when wearing and storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions This Wallis Midi Dress is designed for easy wear, simply slipping on to achieve its elegant silhouette. ## Compatibility This dress is highly compatible with formal and semi-formal events such as weddings, race days, garden parties, galas, and other special occasions requiring an elegant ensemble. Its design is tailored for adult females. ## Care The dress is made from Polyester. To ensure its longevity and maintain its delicate features, proper care is essential: - Washing: Always refer to the garment's care label. Generally, polyester chiffon benefits from hand washing or a gentle machine wash cycle in cold water. Use a mild detergent. - Drying: Air dry flat on a clean surface or hang to dry on a padded hanger, away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying as high heat can damage the fabric and pleats. - Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, preferably with a pressing cloth to protect the delicate chiffon. Steaming is often a gentler alternative to remove wrinkles without direct heat contact. - Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and preserve its shape and flowing design.
