Consult a professional leather cleaner rather than using a home iron, which can burn or melt the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is crafted from leather, proper care is essential. Avoid exposing the dress to excessive moisture or direct heat, which can dry out the material. If the dress becomes wrinkled, hanging it in a steamy bathroom for a short period is generally safer than using direct heat. For long-term storage, use a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulder pleats and ensure the dress is kept in a breathable garment bag. Regular professional leather cleaning is recommended to preserve the finish of the material and the integrity of the contrast stitching.
