FAQs
Is this shirt machine washable?
Due to the studded embellishments and sateen finish, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to prevent damage to the details and fabric quality.
Can I wear this as a dress?
Yes, the maxi length and button-front design allow it to be worn as a statement shirt dress, especially when paired with appropriate footwear.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
The piece is crafted from structured cotton sateen, which is designed to hold its shape rather than stretch, providing a more tailored, architectural fit.
How should I style the waist?
A slim belt is recommended to define the waistline, which balances the dramatic volume of the sleeves and provides a more polished silhouette.
Are the studs prone to tarnishing?
The studs are decorative metal elements; keep them dry and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or perfumes to maintain their finish.
Troubleshooting
Studs appear loose or are catching on fabrics
Check the prongs on the back of the studs if accessible, or take the garment to a professional tailor to reinforce the settings.
Sleeves look disheveled or flat
Use a light steam process from the inside of the sleeve to gently re-inflate the fabric and remove compression marks from storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the garment in its best condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the studded embellishments, professional dry cleaning is recommended to protect the integrity of the studs and the fabric's sheen.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron on the reverse side of the cotton sateen to remove creases without damaging the metallic studs.

- Styling: Complement the high neckline and studded collar by pulling hair back to showcase the architectural details.
