The dress is made from 100% Polyester, featuring a textured jacquard-style fabric with a subtle woven pattern.
Is the dress lined?
Yes, the dress is fully lined for a polished, comfortable wear.
What are the washing instructions for this dress?
Due to the fabric and design, the dress should be dry cleaned only.
Does the ring hardware on the neckline require special care?
The ring hardware is part of the design. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods directly on the hardware. Standard dry cleaning procedures should be sufficient.
Can I wear this dress year-round?

Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a garment steamer on a low setting. If necessary, iron on a very low heat from the reverse side with a pressing cloth.
Fit is too tight or too loose in specific areas.
Consult a professional tailor for minor adjustments. Due to the structured nature, significant alterations may impact the design integrity. Consider the size guide carefully before purchasing.
Fabric texture seems dull or has lost its sheen.
Ensure the dress is kept away from direct sunlight when stored, as prolonged exposure can fade colors and diminish fabric luster. Professional dry cleaning may help restore some vibrancy.
