A halterneck typically pairs well with strapless or adhesive bras to maintain a clean neckline. Ensure the bra style does not interfere with the dress's design.

Troubleshooting

Delicate floral appliqué appears creased or damaged

Consult a professional dry cleaner specializing in delicate fabrics. Avoid attempting to iron or steam the appliqué directly. Gentle steaming of the fabric away from the appliqué may be possible with extreme care.

Fabric feels stiff or loses its shape after cleaning

Ensure you are following the recommended dry cleaning method. If mild stiffness occurs, a gentle press by a professional cleaner can often restore the fabric's drape.

Zipper is difficult to fasten

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If persistent, seek professional tailoring assistance.
