Due to the delicate nature of the cascading drape and the attached hardware, this dress should be professionally dry cleaned.
The compact viscose fabric is designed to be structured and hold its shape, meaning it has limited stretch compared to jersey fabrics.
Yes, its architectural silhouette, midi-to-maxi length, and premium gold accents make it highly appropriate for black-tie and formal settings.
A strapless, supportive adhesive bra or a high-quality strapless bra is recommended to maintain the clean lines of the one-shoulder neckline.
Hang the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag, ensuring the cascading panel is laid flat or hung without being compressed.
Use a professional garment steamer at a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to gently release wrinkles without damaging the viscose fibers.
Ensure the bodice seams are aligned correctly on the body first; the weight of the drape relies on the tailored bodice being perfectly positioned.
To ensure your dress retains its tailored quality, follow these care and maintenance guidelines. Given the specific composition of the fabric and the inclusion of hardware, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the draping and the clasp. When storing, hang the dress on a high-quality padded hanger to prevent the shoulder seam from distorting. Avoid overcrowding in your closet, as the delicate waterfall drape can become crushed or creased. When traveling, use a garment bag and ensure the hardware is wrapped in soft tissue to prevent snagging on other items.
