Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your dress in pristine condition, avoid contact with rough surfaces that could snag the viscose fabric. Given the architectural nature of the piece, it is best stored hanging on a padded hanger to prevent the cape overlay from creasing. Always check the internal garment label for specific laundering instructions, as the structure of the garment is best preserved through professional dry cleaning. Compatibility-wise, the dress features a gold-tone buckle, making gold jewelry the most cohesive pairing choice.
