Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

This garment is exclusively dry clean only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to preserve the integrity and shape of the 100% cotton fabric.

Storage:

Hang the dress on a padded or wide-shouldered hanger to prevent stretching or creasing, especially around the shoulders. Store in a breathable garment bag to protect from dust and light.

Steaming:

If wrinkles appear, use a garment steamer on a low setting. Ensure the steamer is not too close to the fabric to avoid damage. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure. Do not iron directly on the cotton unless using a very low heat setting with a protective cloth.
