Can this dress be machine washed?

No, this dress should be dry-cleaned only to maintain its shape and the integrity of the fabric and design details.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette. Depending on the neckline, a strapless bra or one with minimal straps might be necessary.

How does the peplum detail affect the fit?

The sculptural ruffle peplum is designed to create a flattering hourglass shape by cinching the waist and adding volume over the hips, enhancing the overall silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress has been dry-cleaned recently as specialized cleaning helps maintain fabric structure. Check if the belt is positioned correctly to cinch the waist as intended.

Fabric feels stiff

The stretch compact fabric is designed to offer structure. The stiffness is normal and intended for maintaining the garment's silhouette. Ensure you are using the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Color looks different than expected
