Yes, but be mindful of the environment. Because of the delicate lace and beadwork, avoid grassy areas where the fishtail hem could snag or collect debris.
A strapless, seamless bra in a nude tone is recommended to maintain the clean, refined look of the bodice and mock neck.
Use extreme caution. Steam can damage the beading or the lace structure. It is safer to hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or consult a professional cleaner.
The dress is designed for a body-skimming fit. If you prefer a slightly less structured fit through the hips, consider checking the garment measurements against your own.
The lace and lining are designed to maintain a structured silhouette, so there is minimal stretch compared to jersey or knit fabrics.
Do not pull the thread. Carefully trim it with small embroidery scissors or take it to a professional tailor to reinforce the stitch.
Ensure you are using a high-quality, wide-shouldered hanger for storage and check that the lining is not bunched underneath the outer lace layer before putting it on.
To ensure the longevity of your dress, store it hanging in a garment bag to avoid snagging the delicate lace on other items in your closet. Because of the heavy beadwork, avoid using wire hangers which can distort the shoulder shape; instead, use padded or wide-contoured hangers.
Compatibility with undergarments is straightforward due to the full lining, though it is recommended to use seamless, nude-toned foundations to maintain the clean lines of the body-skimming bodice. Given the intricate nature of the embellishments, this garment should be professionally dry cleaned. Avoid direct heat or steam near the beaded areas as this may damage the adhesive or stitching securing the beads.
