How should I store the dress to protect the puff sleeves?
Store it on a padded hanger in a garment bag to prevent the sleeves from being crushed or snagged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the metallic textured fabric in its best condition, always follow the care label instructions. Given the metallic nature of the weave, professional dry cleaning is the recommended method to maintain the fabric's luster and structural integrity.
When storing, use a high-quality padded hanger to ensure the gathered puff sleeves retain their shape. Avoid hanging the dress near sharp objects or rough jewelry that could snag the textured metallic weave. For styling, the clean round neckline is compatible with hair worn either up or down, though an updo often helps emphasize the sculptural shoulder profile.
