FAQs
Can I iron this dress?
No, you should not iron the dress. The crinkle texture is intentional, and heat from an iron will permanently remove the textured finish.
Does the dress have a zipper?
Yes, it features a discreet zip closure designed to maintain the seamless look of the tailored bodice.
What is the best way to clean it?
Due to the synthetic satin and structured pleats, professional dry cleaning is the only recommended method.
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed as a tailored fit. Because the bodice is structured with limited stretch, it is recommended to check your measurements against the UK size 12 standards.
Are the pockets noticeable?
No, the pockets are seamlessly integrated into the side seams of the pleated skirt, maintaining the clean lines of the A-line shape.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their crispness
Avoid steaming or ironing the crinkle effect, as this will flatten the texture; consult a professional dry cleaner specialized in structured fabrics.
Fabric snagging on jewelry
Ensure that bracelets or watches are smooth-edged and apply them after dressing to prevent pulling threads in the delicate satin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the garment, store it on a high-quality, wide-shoulder hanger to maintain the shape of the tailored top. When transporting the dress for an event, use a breathable garment bag to protect the satin from snagging or moisture. Given the specialized nature of the crinkle satin, it should be dry cleaned only to ensure the texture does not flatten or damage. Avoid spraying perfume or hairspray directly onto the fabric, as the alcohol content can alter the finish of the satin over time.
