Product Information
Full details
The Adrianna Papell Asymmetric Cape Gown is a sophisticated choice for adults attending galas, formal black-tie events, or serving as a mother of the bride. This gown excels at providing a modern, statuesque silhouette through its luminous satin finish and dramatic cape detail, though the floor-length cut and side slit require careful consideration regarding footwear and event terrain to avoid snagging or tripping.

FAQs
Can I wear a standard bra with this gown?
Given the crew neckline and the cape back, you should opt for a strapless or adhesive bra to ensure the straps remain hidden.
Does the gown have a zipper?
Yes, this gown typically includes a concealed back zipper for a streamlined look and ease of entry.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The gown is made of structured satin, which generally has limited stretch. Ensure you check your measurements against a standard size chart for a comfortable fit.
Can I iron this dress at home?
It is highly recommended to use a steamer instead of an iron to avoid scorching the satin or damaging the delicate beadwork.
What length of shoe should I wear?
High heels are recommended to allow the mermaid skirt to hang correctly and prevent the hem from dragging on the floor.
Troubleshooting
Wrinkles in satin fabric
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the nozzle several inches away from the fabric, or have the item professionally pressed.
Loose bead on the neckline
Do not pull the loose bead; secure the thread carefully with a fine needle and matching thread, or take the gown to a professional tailor to reinforce the trim.
Hem dragging on floor
Visit a professional bridal or evening wear tailor to have the hem professionally adjusted to your height while wearing your intended formal shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is made of delicate satin, proper storage is essential to maintain its shape and finish. Always hang the gown using a padded hanger to prevent shoulder bumps or fabric stretching. When transporting, use a breathable garment bag to avoid snagging the beaded neckline on other items. Due to the delicate nature of the beads and the satin finish, this item is 'Dry Clean Only'; do not attempt to machine wash or spot clean with harsh chemicals, as this may ruin the fabric's luster or loosen the beadwork. Ensure your undergarments are seamless to maintain the smooth lines of the mermaid skirt.
