Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or iron inside out on a cool temperature. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before wearing or storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: This dress requires gentle care to maintain its exquisite appearance.

  1. Washing: Hand wash separately in cold water or use a delicate cycle in a washing machine on a cold setting. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Lay flat or hang to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as this can damage the delicate lace and affect the fabric's shape.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron setting. Iron the dress inside out, paying particular attention to the lace to prevent snagging. Steaming is often a safer alternative for removing wrinkles.
  4. Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect it from dust and prevent creasing.

Styling Notes: While the dress is a complete statement piece, consider accessories that complement its elegance without overpowering it. Simple jewelry, a refined clutch, and appropriate footwear will enhance the overall look.
