How should I care for the top-stitching detail?

The contrast top-stitching is a key design element. Follow the recommended care instructions (preferably dry clean) to maintain the integrity and sharpness of the stitching.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after washing or storage.

Gently steam the dress or iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth. Ensure proper hanging for storage to minimize creasing.

Belt buckle feels stiff or difficult to fasten.

Ensure the belt is properly aligned. Gently work the buckle back and forth; it may loosen with use. Avoid forcing the buckle.

Fabric feels restrictive.

While the fabric offers structure, it also has a subtle stretch. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your body. Minor stretching may occur with wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the tailored nature and fabric composition, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the garment's structure and finish. If machine washing is attempted, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
  • Drying: Avoid tumble drying. Lay the dress flat on a clean towel or hang it on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and stitching. Pay close attention to the structured collar and belt.
  • Storage: Hang the dress on a sturdy, padded hanger to preserve its shape. Avoid folding for extended periods to prevent creasing.
