Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the luster of the metallic foil and the integrity of the knit, follow these care instructions:
- Care: Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the foil coating. Avoid high-heat ironing directly on the foil surface.
- Storage: Store the dress hanging in a garment bag to prevent snagging on jewelry or other clothing items. Do not fold the dress for long periods to avoid creasing the metallic finish.
- Compatibility: The UK size 8 fits as a standard slim-cut. Consult the available size variants if you require a different fit (sizes 6-16 available).
- Styling: The metallic green hue pairs well with silver or neutral accessories. Use low-profile adhesive undergarments to maintain the clean lines of the dress.
