Fabric snagging

Ensure all jewelry and accessories are smooth and free of sharp edges before wearing to prevent pulling the delicate threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the skirt maintains its shape and luster, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Professional Cleaning Only: Due to the satin material, it is highly recommended to use professional dry cleaning services rather than home washing.
  2. Storage: Hang the skirt using padded hangers to prevent clips from damaging the satin fabric.
  3. Ironing: Use a steamer on a low, delicate setting if wrinkles appear. Avoid direct contact with a high-heat iron to prevent scorching or shiny marks on the fabric.
  4. Compatibility: This piece pairs exceptionally well with monochromatic tops or metallic accessories to emphasize the cream color profile.
