Troubleshooting

Gown feels tight or uncomfortable

Ensure the concealed zipped back is fully open before attempting to put on. If still uncomfortable, consider if the built-in bustier is the correct fit for your frame. The detachable belt can also be removed to alleviate tightness around the waist.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Hang the gown in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming services. Avoid direct ironing unless specified by a professional, as high heat can damage the fabric.

Stains on the fabric

Immediately consult a professional dry cleaner. Attempting to spot clean with water or household cleaners can permanently damage the fabric or set the stain.

  • Includes practical side slit pockets.
  • Made in Portugal, indicating quality craftsmanship.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a finished garment and requires no assembly. Upon receiving, it may benefit from being hung to allow any creases from packaging to fall out.

Compatibility:

This gown is designed as a standalone piece. Consider the need for strapless undergarments if additional support or coverage is desired, though the built-in bustier is intended to negate this.

Care Instructions:

  • Dry Clean Only: To preserve the integrity and finish of the fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store in a breathable garment bag to protect from dust and light. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe to prevent creasing.
