FAQs

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, this dress must be dry cleaned only to protect the satin finish and intricate lace.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

The polyester satin used in this dress generally has very limited stretch; it is recommended to select the size that best matches your measurements.

What is the best way to store the dress?

Hang the dress on a padded hanger in a cool, dry closet, preferably inside a garment bag to protect it from dust and potential snags.

Is the lace fragile?

Yes, the lace inserts are delicate and should be treated with care, avoiding contact with rough jewelry or abrasive surfaces.

How do I secure the button closure?

The dress features a simple button closure at the back; ensure each loop is securely fastened to maintain the integrity of the neckline.

Troubleshooting

Wrinkles in the satin fabric

Use a professional garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping the nozzle at least six inches away from the fabric, or bring it to a professional dry cleaner for pressing.

Lace snagging

If a thread is pulled in the lace, do not cut it. Gently attempt to smooth it back into the weave or consult a professional tailor for repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Self-Portrait maxi dress remains in excellent condition, follow these guidelines:

  • Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to prevent the spaghetti straps from stretching and to maintain the structure of the lace inserts.
  • Handling: Avoid contact with sharp jewelry or rough surfaces that could snag the delicate lace or satin fabric.
  • Cleaning: This garment is dry clean only. Do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry, as the heat and agitation will damage the lace and satin finish.
  • Fit: The UK 8 size is designed for standard proportions; it is recommended to ensure your measurements align with the brand's fit standards before the event, as the polyester material has limited natural give.
