- Cleaning: Due to the delicate lace trim and slinky fabric, hand washing in cold water is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to maintain the fabric's shape and prevent shrinkage.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting and iron on the reverse side, especially over the lace areas. Alternatively, steaming is a safer option.
