Troubleshooting
Visible seams or lines from undergarments
Use seamless, laser-cut undergarments in a neutral tone to maintain the clean lines of the bandage construction.
Dress hem dragging too much on the floor
Ensure you are wearing appropriate heel heights to lift the hem off the ground and maintain the intended silhouette.
Metallic finish appears dull
Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or debris, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the dress on carefully, adjusting the ruched panels on the bodice and skirt to sit evenly across the body. The stretch-knit composition is forgiving but should not be overstretched during dressing. Regarding care, always refer to the garment's internal care label. Given the metallic foil treatment, it is generally recommended to avoid harsh agitation or heat. Store the dress hanging in a garment bag to prevent the metallic finish from snagging on other items in your wardrobe. Avoid direct contact with heavy perfumes or lotions, which could potentially impact the luster of the metallic coating over time.
