FAQs

How do I best store this dress?

Hang the dress in a garment bag to protect it from dust, sunlight, and potential snags.

Can I wash the dress at home?

It is generally recommended to dry clean the dress to preserve its tailored construction and colour. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.

What kind of shoes should I wear with this dress?

Strappy metallic heels or elegant heeled sandals work well. Choose a heel height that you are comfortable with, given the high-low hemline.

How do I prevent wrinkles?

Hang the dress immediately after wearing. If wrinkles occur, use a garment steamer or iron on a low setting, with a pressing cloth.

What accessories are suitable for this dress?

Statement earrings and a sleek clutch would be ideal. Consider a delicate necklace that complements the asymmetric neckline.

What should I do if the dress doesn’t fit perfectly?

Consult a tailor to adjust the fit. A good fit is essential for showcasing the dress's design.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage.

Hang the dress in a well-ventilated area or use a steamer on a low setting.
