How should I clean this garment?

We recommend checking the care label for specific instructions; generally, dry cleaning is preferred to protect the architectural detailing.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Use a garment steamer at a low setting, keeping distance from the structured panels.

Small surface stains on white fabric

Gently spot clean with a mild soap solution and a clean cloth, dabbing rather than rubbing.

Fit feels slightly tight in the bodice

Ensure the structured seams are properly aligned with your natural waist before securing any closures.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculptural and modern aesthetic
  • Fabric provides a comfortable, smoothing effect
  • Versatile design allows for easy layering
  • Flattering, elongating silhouette for various body types

Cons

  • Light colour requires careful maintenance
  • Dry cleaning or careful hand washing is recommended
  • Sleeveless design may require layering in colder climates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the structured bodice and the quality of the stretch fabric, avoid harsh machine cycles. When storing, ensure the dress is hung on a high-quality hanger to prevent the bodice panels from distorting. Given the white and gold aesthetic, use a garment bag when traveling to keep the surface pristine. Always refer to the inner garment label for specific fabric care instructions, as the material blend is optimized for structure and fit.
