FAQs
What is the best way to store this dress?
Hang the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect the fabric and feathers from dust and potential snagging. Store in a cool, dry place.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Machine washing is not recommended due to the delicate feather trim and knit fabric. Hand washing in cold water is the preferred method.
How do I ensure the white color stays pristine?
Avoid contact with heavily dyed fabrics, especially when wet. Be mindful of spills and clean them immediately according to the care instructions. Store away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing.
Is the leg split noticeable?
The leg split is designed to be a high split in the back, providing ease of movement without being overly revealing during normal wear. It becomes more apparent when walking or sitting.
What kind of undergarments are best?
Seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain the smooth lines of the bodycon fit. Depending on the neckline and back, strapless or backless options may be suitable.
How should I care for the feather trim?
Gently shake to restore fluffiness. Avoid direct heat or moisture on the feathers. If they become compressed, a light steaming from a distance can help.
Troubleshooting
Feathers becoming matted or losing shape
Gently shake the garment. If needed, use a steamer from a distance (do not touch the feathers) to help them regain volume. Avoid direct ironing on the feathers.
Fabric snagging
Be cautious of sharp objects, jewelry, and rough surfaces. If a minor snag occurs, try to gently work the fabric back into place. For significant snags, professional repair may be needed.
Dress feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you are wearing appropriate undergarments. The bodycon fit is designed to be snug; the leg split aids movement. If it remains excessively restrictive, consider if the sizing is correct.
Zipper is difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) applied to the teeth may help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
This garment is ready to wear upon arrival and requires no setup. It is compatible with standard undergarments.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Due to the delicate feather trim and knit fabric, hand washing is highly recommended. Use a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Drying: Lay flat on a clean towel to air dry. Do not wring or twist the fabric. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, preferably inside out. Avoid direct contact with the feather trim.
- Feather Care: Gently shake the garment to fluff the feathers. If feathers become matted, a very light steaming from a distance (do not let the iron touch) may help restore them. Avoid dry cleaning unless specifically recommended by a professional cleaner experienced with feather garments.
