What does 'asymmetric silhouette' mean in this context?

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears creased

Ensure the dress is dry cleaned according to instructions. If minor creases persist, use a steamer on a low setting or iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth on the lowest heat.

Small snag on the fabric

For minor snags, avoid pulling the thread. It may be possible to gently push the snagged thread back through to the reverse side using a fine needle. For significant snags, consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner.

Dress loses its sheen

This can sometimes occur with improper care. Ensure dry cleaning is done by a reputable professional. Avoid excessive heat or rough handling of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh stain removers, as these can damage the fabric and affect the colour.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric. A pressing cloth can also be used for added protection.
  • Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect it from dust and potential snags. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe.

  • Accessories: Minimalist jewelry (delicate necklaces, earrings, bracelets), a small clutch or evening bag.
  • Outerwear: Tailored blazers, elegant wraps, or faux fur stoles for cooler evenings.
