Product Information
Full details
The Adrianna Papell Asymmetric Cape Gown is a sophisticated choice for formal occasions, designed for women seeking a blend of classic elegance and modern flair. Featuring a luminous satin finish, a distinctive sweeping cape, and a dramatic side-slit mermaid skirt, this gown is ideal for galas, black-tie events, or mother-of-the-bride roles; however, potential wearers should note that the delicate satin fabric requires careful handling to prevent snagging.

FAQs
What is the best way to clean this gown?
This gown is strictly dry-clean only. Please take it to a professional dry cleaner who is experienced with delicate satin and beaded garments.
Can I wear a necklace with this dress?
Due to the intricate beading around the crew neckline, a necklace is generally not necessary and may conflict with the design. We recommend pairing it with statement earrings instead.
Is the fabric prone to stretching?
Satin is a structured fabric and does not feature significant stretch. It is designed to fit the body precisely, so ensure you consult the size guide before selecting your fit.
Will the cape restrict my arm movement?
The asymmetrical cape is designed to provide coverage while allowing for natural arm movement. The structure is open, so it should not interfere with your ability to gesture or dance.
How long is the dress?
This is a floor-length gown. Depending on your height and the heel height you choose, you may wish to have it tailored to hit the floor perfectly.
Troubleshooting
Light wrinkles present in the satin fabric
Use a garment steamer on a low-heat setting, keeping the nozzle at least six inches away from the fabric.
A bead becomes loose from the neckline
Secure the loose bead with a fine needle and matching thread, or take the garment to a professional tailor to ensure the beadwork remains symmetrical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gown remains in pristine condition, keep it stored in a breathable garment bag when not in use to avoid dust accumulation and fabric snags. Because this is a formal satin piece, do not attempt to machine wash or spot clean it yourself; professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended to preserve the integrity of the beads and the sheen of the satin. When traveling, use a steamer on a low setting from a distance to remove any wrinkles accumulated from storage or transit.
