Troubleshooting

  • Versatile for various formal occasions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress remains in pristine condition, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended due to the delicate nature of the satin fabric. When storing, always use a padded hanger to support the weight of the garment and maintain the structure of the shoulders. Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white fabric. If the garment requires steaming, use a low-heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric to avoid water spots or heat damage to the satin finish.
