Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment features intricate beadwork and floral appliqu, it is not machine washable. To maintain the structural integrity of the dress:
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent the weight of the beading from stretching the fabric at the shoulders.
- Cleaning: Always follow the care label for professional dry cleaning only. Avoid spot cleaning at home, as this may damage the beads or the embroidery threads.
- Compatibility: The dress pairs exceptionally well with up-swept hairstyles, which highlight the halterneck design and the bodice embroidery.
- Handling: When dressing, be mindful of jewelry, particularly rings or watches, to ensure they do not catch on the glass beads or fine embroidery threads.
