Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the metallic finish and the volume of the puff sleeves, it is essential to store this dress on a well-padded hanger to prevent shoulder creasing. Avoid storing the garment in direct sunlight, which may affect the luster of the metallic weave.

For cleaning, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the textured woven fabric and the structural components of the sleeves.
