FAQs
What is the best type of undergarment for this dress?
Due to the open-back and halterneck design, adhesive backless bras or breast petals are highly recommended for a seamless look.
Is the fabric prone to snagging?
The jacquard weave is durable, but care should be taken with jewelry and sharp accessories to avoid pulling the threads.
Can this dress be hemmed?
Yes, a professional tailor can hem the maxi-length skirt to your preferred length, keeping the integrity of the flared hem and train.
Does the white fabric require special care?
To preserve the bright white hue, keep the garment in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use professional dry cleaning services.
What size should I choose?
Consult the size guide provided for the brand, as the bodice is structured and designed for a tailored fit.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the fabric
Use a garment steamer at a safe distance; do not use a high-heat iron directly on the jacquard texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the appearance of the stripe jacquard fabric, this dress should be professionally dry cleaned. Avoid machine washing or harsh bleaching agents to prevent damage to the woven texture. When storing, use a garment bag to protect the fabric from dust and accidental snagging. Since this is a structured garment, it is recommended to hang it on a sturdy, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and bodice. Before wear, use a light steamer at a distance to remove any wrinkles accumulated during storage, taking care not to press directly against the delicate jacquard threads.
