FAQs
How should I wash this dress?
Follow the instructions on the internal care label; typically, these materials benefit from a gentle hand wash or a cold delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag.
Can this dress be altered?
Yes, but due to the pleated nature of the skirt, it is highly recommended that you take it to a professional tailor to ensure the hemline remains even.
Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?
Polyester and satin are generally resistant to heavy creasing, but it is best to pack it carefully in a garment bag when traveling.
What type of undergarments work best?
Because of the high neck and fit and flare cut, seamless undergarments in a neutral tone will provide the cleanest silhouette.
Does the dress have pockets?
No, this specific model is designed for a sleek, streamlined profile without external pockets.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their crisp definition
Use a steamer to gently relax the fibers, then hang the dress vertically to allow gravity to restore the pleat structure.
Static cling in dry weather
Lightly mist the underside of the fabric with a static release spray or a very diluted fabric softener solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your dress, always check the garment label for specific temperature settings. Because the dress features pleats, avoid aggressive machine drying as this can flatten the fabric texture. If the dress arrives with minor creases from transit, use a cool iron or a handheld garment steamer from a distance to gently release the wrinkles. Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the pleats fall naturally in your closet.
