FAQs

What is the recommended cleaning method?

This garment must be professionally dry cleaned only.

Does the material have stretch?

The boucle tweed is a structured fabric and does not feature the elasticity found in knit or jersey materials.

Can I wear this for outdoor events?

Yes, the polyester construction is durable enough for outdoor settings, though it is best kept away from moisture or heavy rain.

How should I store the dress?

Keep it on a sturdy hanger in a climate-controlled closet away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.

Are the pockets functional?

No, the pockets are designed as decorative faux elements to maintain the dress's clean, slim silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Stubborn wrinkles after storage

Use a professional garment steamer at a safe distance or take it to a professional dry cleaner for a refresh.

Loose button found

Secure the loose thread carefully or take the garment to a professional tailor to ensure the button is reinforced properly to the tweed.

Minor snag on the tweed fabric

Do not pull the snag. Use a small crochet hook to pull the loose loop through to the inside of the dress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Self-Portrait dress, please adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Handling: Upon receiving, hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the structure of the shoulder area.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally covered with a breathable garment bag to prevent dust accumulation.
  3. Care: This garment is dry clean only. Do not attempt to wash this dress at home, as the agitation of a washing machine can damage the boucle texture and internal construction.
  4. Wrinkles: If the dress appears wrinkled after travel, hang it in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to allow the steam to gently relax the fibers; avoid using a direct steam iron on the boucle surface unless absolutely necessary.
