Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Bardot Boho Lace Fishtail Wedding Dress looks its best, proper preparation, fitting, and care are essential.
Getting Ready
- Steaming: Due to the linen material and delicate lace, the dress may arrive with creases. Gently steam the dress *before* your event, using a steamer or professional service. Avoid direct high heat from an iron.
- Professional Alterations: If necessary, seek a reputable bridal tailor for any alterations to ensure a perfect fit. This is crucial for a form-fitting design.
- Undergarments: Plan your undergarments carefully. Seamless, supportive options are recommended to maintain the smooth silhouette of the dress.
Compatibility
- Body Types: The form-fitting design and fishtail hem tend to flatter various body types but may require specific alterations to achieve the desired silhouette.
- Venues: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings, though care should be taken in rustic outdoor environments to protect the delicate lace.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Due to the intricate lace and material, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Always inform your cleaner that it is a delicate wedding dress made of linen and lace.
- Storage: Store the dress in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid plastic bags for long-term storage as they can trap moisture.
- Handling: Always handle the dress with clean hands. When putting it on or taking it off, be mindful of jewelry or sharp objects that could snag the lace.
