Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this piece is a formal tailored item, proper care is essential to maintain its structural drape:
- Cleaning: This garment is crafted from wool and should be professionally dry cleaned only. Avoid machine washing or hand washing to prevent shrinkage or loss of the garment's specific shape.
- Storage: Store the dress on a wide, padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation and to ensure the weight of the fabric doesn't pull on the neckline drape.
- Undergarments: Due to the asymmetric neckline, a strapless or convertible bra is recommended to maintain the clean line of the bare shoulder.
- Steaming: If the fabric develops minor wrinkles from sitting, use a handheld garment steamer from a slight distance rather than a flat iron to keep the wool soft and avoid scorching the fibers.
