FAQs

What is the best way to clean this silk dress?

Professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended for all silk garments by Zimmermann.

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed with an elasticated back to provide a tailored fit, but it is recommended to follow the standard UK size guide provided.

Can I steam the dress at home?

Yes, you can use a steamer on a low, silk-safe setting; however, keep the steamer nozzle at least 6 inches away from the fabric.

Does the dress require a slip?

The dress comes partially lined to provide adequate coverage, so an additional slip is generally not required.

How should I store the dress?

Store on a padded hanger inside a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry, and dark closet.

Troubleshooting

Invisible zip feels stiff

Ensure the zipper teeth are free from silk threads, then gently run a wax-free graphite pencil along the teeth to lubricate them.

Minor fabric wrinkling

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes or use a professional garment steamer on the lowest setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Zimmermann Mahon Maxi Dress, it is essential to follow specific care protocols. Due to the delicate nature of silk, machine washing is not recommended. Always opt for professional dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's sheen and structure. When storing, keep the garment in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable garment bag, away from direct sunlight. Use a padded hanger to avoid shoulder deformation. If the dress arrives with minor creasing from transit, it is best to use a garment steamer on a low, silk-safe setting, keeping the nozzle at a distance to prevent water spots or burning.
