Troubleshooting

Opt for minimalist, strappy heels to ensure the asymmetrical line remains the most visible part of the outfit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep the garment in pristine condition, always refer to the internal care label. Given the tailored nature and polyester construction, it is recommended to dry clean the dress or use a gentle cold wash cycle if permitted. When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to preserve the shape of the gathered waist and the drape of the hemline. If the fabric becomes wrinkled, use a low-heat steam setting, keeping the steamer a safe distance from the colour-blocked panels to avoid fabric shine.
