Can this dress be machine washed?
It is strongly recommended to dry clean this dress to maintain the integrity of the satin material and the tailored structure.
Does the dress have any stretch?

Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles upon removing from storage
Use a low-heat garment steamer held at a distance to gently release creases without damaging the satin sheen.
Difficulty with front buttons
Check that the garment is properly aligned on the body; if the fit feels too tight across the bust or waist, do not force the buttons.
Minor snag on the fabric
Do not pull the thread. Take the garment to a professional tailor to have the loop carefully tucked back into the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, store it on a padded hanger to maintain the structure of the shoulders and avoid permanent creases. Due to the delicate nature of the satin, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric sheen and prevent water spotting. When preparing to wear the dress, check that all buttons are secure before putting it on. The dress fits a standard UK size 16 silhouette, but because of the tailored non-stretch construction, it is advisable to ensure measurements align with your body shape to avoid strain on the button closures. Avoid direct contact with sharp jewelry or abrasive surfaces that could snag the satin threads.
