FAQs
Can this dress be machine washed?
No, this garment must be dry cleaned to preserve the fabric's drape and the finish of the charmeuse collar.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The knit crepe offers a slight, soft give for comfort, but it is structured and not a high-stretch material.
What kind of undergarments work best?
Seamless, skin-tone shapewear is recommended to ensure a smooth transition under the knit crepe fabric.
Is the length adjustable?
While the dress cannot be adjusted via buttons or straps, it can be professionally hemmed by a tailor if it is too long.
Does the dress have a waist seam?
No, the dress is intentionally crafted without a waist seam to provide a continuous, sleek silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the back
Ensure you are standing straight and not arching your back; have someone assist you, or use a zipper pull tool if alone.
Fabric wrinkles after travel
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15 minutes, or use a handheld garment steamer from a distance of at least 6 inches.
Zipper feels stuck
Do not force it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth, and rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil lead on the teeth to lubricate it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Adrianna Papell gown in pristine condition, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended. Avoid home washing machines, as they may damage the charmeuse collar and the structure of the knit crepe. When storing, ensure the dress is hung on a sturdy, padded hanger to prevent shoulder puckering, and use a garment bag to protect it from dust. Because of the center-back zipper, it is recommended to have assistance when zipping to prevent snagging the fabric. If slight wrinkles occur from storage, use a professional-grade garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance between the nozzle and the fabric, or consult a dry cleaner to press it safely.
