FAQs
Can this dress be dry cleaned?
This garment should only be cleaned by a professional leather specialist who is experienced with high-end designer materials.
Is the waist buckle adjustable?
Yes, the tonal buckle-detail is functional and allows you to adjust the fit around your waist for a personalized silhouette.
Does the dress have a lining?
Yes, the dress is fully lined to provide a smooth, comfortable fit against the skin and ensure the draped panels move correctly.
What type of shoes pair best with this style?
For a formal look, pointed-toe heels are recommended. For a more modern, editorial look, knee-high leather boots complement the asymmetric hemline.
Should I store this in a plastic bag?
No, you should avoid plastic bags. Store your leather dress in a breathable garment bag or a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Minor wrinkling in the leather
Hang the dress in a well-ventilated room or a humid space, such as a bathroom after a shower, to allow the leather to relax naturally.
Buckle hardware looks dull
Gently buff the buckle with a dry, soft microfiber cloth to restore its original luster without using harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your leather garment, always store it on a high-quality, wide-shouldered hanger to prevent the material from creasing or losing its shape. Avoid storing the dress in plastic garment bags, as leather needs to breathe; opt for breathable cotton covers instead.
Compatibility with other wardrobe staples is high; the dress works best with streamlined footwear. Because this is a luxury leather piece, it is not suitable for machine washing or tumble drying. Always consult a specialist leather cleaner to address any stains or general maintenance, as improper cleaning can lead to drying, cracking, or discoloration of the leather finish.
