Can this dress be worn in colder weather?

Yes, for cooler evenings, you can layer the dress with a tailored blazer or a delicate wrap to add warmth and style.

What material is the dress made of?

How do I care for the metallic hardware on the belt?

Gently polish the metallic hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to maintain its shine.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased upon arrival.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting, ensuring the iron does not directly touch the satin twill trim. Alternatively, professional steaming is recommended.

Belt hardware loses its shine.

Gently polish the metallic hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Fabric snags easily.

Exercise caution around rough surfaces. Store the dress in a protective garment bag when not in use.
