Product Information
Full details
The Dondup A890 dress is designed for the modern adult woman seeking a balance between professional sophistication and everyday comfort. Its primary benefit is the luxurious silk construction that provides a flattering, softly draping silhouette suitable for various daytime settings. A key caveat to consider is that because the primary material is silk, the garment requires more delicate care compared to synthetic alternatives to maintain its texture and longevity.

FAQs
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, the Dondup A890 is made from delicate silk and should be professionally dry cleaned only.
Does the dress run true to size?
The dress is designed as a UK size 14 with a softly draping fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, consider your typical size, but note that silk does not have the stretch of jersey fabrics.
Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?
As with most high-quality silk garments, some wrinkling is natural during movement. However, the cupro-elastane lining helps the dress maintain its structural form.
What colors match best with the grey and blue theme?
Neutral tones like white, silver, or black work well, as do deep navy blues that mirror the secondary accents in the dress.
Is this garment suitable for year-round wear?
Silk is temperature-regulating, making this dress comfortable in warmer weather. In cooler seasons, it can be layered with a blazer or a coat.
Troubleshooting
Minor wrinkles after storage
Use a garment steamer on the lowest setting, keeping the nozzle at least six inches away from the silk surface.
Static cling
Since the lining contains elastane, light static may occur; a light mist of water or an anti-static spray applied to the inside of the lining usually resolves this.
Accidental spill
Do not rub the fabric. Blot the area immediately with a clean, white, dry cloth and consult a professional dry cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dondup A890 dress, proper maintenance is vital. Given the silk construction, dry cleaning is the recommended method for routine maintenance to protect the integrity of the fibers. If you must steam the garment to remove wrinkles, use a low-heat setting and keep the steamer at a distance to avoid water spotting. When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and drape. Avoid direct sunlight in your closet, as prolonged exposure can cause the natural silk fibers to fade or yellow over time. Pair this dress with minimalist jewelry to maintain the sophisticated look intended by the Dondup design.
