How should I clean this dress?

Professional dry cleaning is the recommended method to maintain the quality of the wool and the dress's structure.

What does 'asymmetric hem' mean?

An asymmetric hem means the bottom edge of the dress is not even or straight; it has an uneven, typically flowing or angled, design.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears to have lost its shape after cleaning.

Ensure the dress was dry-cleaned by a professional experienced with wool garments. Re-shaping may be possible by a skilled professional; avoid attempting to fix it yourself by washing or stretching.

Minor wrinkles or creases are visible.

Gently steam the garment on a low setting, keeping the iron a safe distance from the fabric, or have it professionally pressed. Avoid direct high heat.

Wool feels slightly itchy.

This can sometimes occur with natural wool fibers. Wearing a fine-knit slip or base layer underneath can provide a barrier for comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment requires specialized care to preserve the integrity of the 100% wool fabric and its intricate design features.

Care Instructions:

  • Dry Clean Only: To prevent shrinkage, distortion, or damage to the wool fibers, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended.
  • Avoid Machine Washing or Drying: These processes can be harsh on wool and may lead to irreparable damage.
  • Ironing: If necessary, use a cool iron setting with a pressing cloth to protect the wool. Avoid direct heat.
  • Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Consider using a garment bag to protect it from dust and light.
  • Handle with Care: Due to the delicate nature of the fabric and design, handle the dress gently to avoid snagging or stretching.
