Troubleshooting
Fabric creasing during storage or transport
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 10 minutes or use a garment steamer on a low-heat setting.
Neckline strap sliding
Ensure your strapless undergarment provides a secure fit; alternatively, use fashion tape to anchor the fabric to the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in pristine condition, adhere to the following guidelines:
- Undergarments: Pair with a high-quality strapless bra or adhesive silicone cups to maintain the clean lines of the asymmetric neckline.
- Storage: Hang the dress using the provided garment loops on a padded hanger to prevent the shoulder strap from stretching or distorting the fabric.
- Cleaning: Given the complexity of the drape, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the fabric folds and overall silhouette.
- Wrinkle Removal: Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to gently remove any transit creases.
