Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup & Fitting
Upon receiving your dress, carefully remove it from its packaging. Hang it immediately on a padded hanger to help any creases relax. It is highly recommended to have the dress professionally steamed closer to your wedding day to ensure it is wrinkle-free. For the perfect fit, professional alterations are often necessary. Schedule these well in advance of your wedding date to allow for multiple fittings if needed.
Compatibility
- Undergarments: A strapless or adhesive bra is essential to maintain the clean lines of the Bardot neckline. Seamless underwear is recommended for a smooth silhouette.
- Accessories: Minimalist and elegant accessories work best to highlight the dress's features. Avoid heavy necklaces that would compete with the neckline.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Due to its luxurious satin material and delicate construction, this dress is dry clean only. Choose a reputable dry cleaner specializing in bridal or delicate garments.
- Storage: Store the dress in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight and humidity. This prevents discoloration and fabric degradation. Avoid hanging it in crowded closets where it might get crushed or wrinkled.
- Handling: Always handle the dress with clean hands, ideally wearing white cotton gloves, to prevent transferring oils or dirt to the satin fabric. Lift the dress by the sturdy inner loops when moving it to avoid stressing the shoulder area.
