How should I care for the hand-stitched pearl embellishments?
Due to the delicate hand-stitched pearl embellishments, dry cleaning is strongly recommended to ensure their longevity and to maintain the overall quality of the dress. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

Can the thigh-high slit be altered?
While minor adjustments might be possible, altering the thigh-high slit should be done by a professional tailor to preserve the dress's original design integrity and fit. Discuss your preferences with a specialist.
How should I store this dress to protect it?
Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag. This helps maintain its shape, protects the delicate embellishments from snags and dust, and prevents creases.
Troubleshooting
Embellishments appear loose or detached.
Gently re-secure any loose pearls with a fine needle and matching thread. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or alteration specialist to avoid further issues.
Dress has wrinkles after storage or wear.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, allowing the steam to relax the fabric. Alternatively, use a garment steamer from a safe distance, being careful to avoid direct heat on the embellishments.
The thigh-high slit feels too revealing.
While part of the design, a professional tailor might be able to make a very minor adjustment to the height if desired, or you can opt for opaque hosiery to provide more coverage.
A stain has appeared on the fabric.
Do not rub the stain. Gently blot the area with a clean, damp cloth. For persistent or oil-based stains, take the dress to a professional dry cleaner immediately, informing them about the embellishments.
