No, this dress is made from specialized velvet that requires professional dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's sheen and the integrity of the sequined bows.
Due to the side cut-outs and boat neckline, a strapless adhesive bra or silicone cups are highly recommended to provide support without being visible.
The dress is designed with a slightly fitted silhouette. It is recommended to check the specific UK sizing chart to ensure the best fit around the waist and hips.
The dress is crafted for a structured, fitted look, so it has limited stretch. It is best to choose your standard size based on your measurements.
You can gently press the ribbons with a low-heat iron, ensuring you place a thin cloth between the iron and the ribbon to protect the material.
Ensure the fabric edges are aligned properly inside the zipper path and that no internal lining is caught in the teeth.
Use a clean, soft dry cloth to gently wipe the sequins; do not use chemical cleaners or water.
Gently steam the garment from a distance, keeping the steamer away from the sequined areas, or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom to allow creases to release naturally.
To keep your Self-Portrait dress in pristine condition, always store it hanging in a cool, dry area, preferably inside a garment bag to protect the velvet pile from dust and crushing. Because of the delicate nature of the sequined bows and the velvet fabric, avoid exposure to rough surfaces or heavy jewelry that might snag the ribbons. This garment is constructed from polyester and should not be machine washed; always consult the interior label for specific care instructions and prioritize professional dry cleaning services. When putting on the dress, handle the sequined bows with care to prevent loss or damage to the detailing.
