Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is crafted from satin, proper care is essential to maintain the fabric's luster and integrity. Avoid contact with rough surfaces to prevent snags. It is recommended to steam the dress lightly to remove wrinkles after transport, rather than using a high-heat iron which may damage the fibers. Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the structured sleeves and bodice. When choosing undergarments, opt for seamless, nude-toned options to ensure a smooth finish under the satin fabric.
