FAQs

Can I machine wash this dress?

No. The silk and organza materials are extremely delicate and require professional dry cleaning to maintain their structure.

What does bias-cut mean for the fit?

Bias-cut means the fabric is cut at a 45-degree angle to the grain, which allows the silk to stretch slightly and drape gracefully over the body's curves.

Is the bralette overlay removable?

No, the organza bralette is a structural element of the design and should not be removed.

How should I store this dress to prevent snags?

Store it in a dedicated cotton garment bag away from sharp jewelry or metallic closet organizers.

Can the straps be adjusted?

Yes, the dress features thin, adjustable shoulder straps to help you achieve the desired neckline height.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the silk

Use a professional garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping it at least six inches away from the fabric to avoid water spotting.

Static cling affecting the drape

Lightly mist the inner lining of the dress with a fabric-safe anti-static spray, ensuring the product does not come into direct contact with the lace or organza.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Carven Silk Slip Dress, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: This garment must be dry-cleaned only. Attempting to wash it at home can damage the silk fibers and distort the pleats.
  2. Storage: Hang the dress using a padded hanger to prevent the shoulder straps from stretching or the fabric from dimpling.
  3. Travel: When packing, fold the dress inside acid-free tissue paper and place it in a garment bag to avoid snagging on zippers or other items.
  4. Compatibility: The dress pairs well with delicate silk undergarments or seamless lingerie to ensure a smooth, clean line under the bias-cut fabric.
