Proper care is crucial to maintain the beauty and longevity of your Goddiva Scalloped Cape Open Back Lace & Sequin Maxi Dress.
Cleaning: Due to the delicate embroidered lace and sequins, dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the fabric and embellishments. If dry cleaning is not an option, very carefully hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring). Lay flat on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger in the shade to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight.
Ironing: Avoid direct ironing on lace or sequined areas. If necessary, use a steamer on a low setting or iron inside-out on the lowest heat setting with a protective cloth.
Storage: Store the dress hanging in a breathable garment bag to protect the delicate lace and sequins from snags, dust, and creasing. Ensure it's not compressed against other items that could damage the embellishments.
