Can I machine wash this dress?
Due to the metallic foil finish and fringe detailing, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the quality of the fabric.

Is the metallic finish prone to fading?
The foil finish is durable for event wear, but it should be stored out of direct sunlight and cleaned professionally to maintain its reflective properties.
Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress retains its metallic luster and structural integrity, always hang the garment in a breathable garment bag when not in use. Avoid storing it tightly compressed between other items, as this can crush the fringe.
Due to the delicate nature of the foil finish and the fringe, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. If spot cleaning is necessary, use only a soft, slightly damp cloth on the non-metallic areas, taking care not to rub the foil finish. Ensure the dress is kept away from rough surfaces or jewelry that could snag the delicate knit or metallic coating.
