Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the dress for wear, ensure it is steamed or ironed on a low setting specifically suited for compact viscose fabrics to remove any transit creases. For compatibility, the dress pairs best with minimal metallic accessories that complement the gold-tone buckle. Regarding care, because of the structured cape and metallic hardware, it is advisable to consult the garment tag for specific washing instructions. Typically, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to preserve the integrity of the cape's drape and the finish of the gold-tone buckle.
