How should I wash the dress?

Given the delicate embroidery and trim, dry cleaning is the safest option to preserve the fabric and details.

Is this suitable for a formal event?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after sitting

Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting to gently release creases in the linen blend.

Pompom trim is caught or tangled

Gently use a wide-tooth comb to detangle or finger-smooth the trim; never pull forcefully on the threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Melicia dress in optimal condition, adhere to the following care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Due to the intricate embroidery and pompom trim, dry cleaning or a very gentle hand wash in cool water is recommended to maintain the integrity of the embellishments.
  2. Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ruffles; avoid folding for extended periods to minimize deep creases in the linen.
  3. Ironing: If the dress becomes wrinkled, use a low-heat steam setting or a garment steamer. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron on the embroidery and pompom sections to prevent damage.
  4. Compatibility: The dress is standard UK sizing. If you prefer a more relaxed fit for layering, ensure you refer to the specific size guide for your regional measurement.
