Setup, Compatibility & Care
Given the delicate nature of the pleated sleeves and the mixed-material construction, it is essential to follow care instructions closely to ensure the longevity of the garment.
- Cleaning: Due to the faux leather trim and pleated panels, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. If spot cleaning is necessary, use a soft, damp cloth on the PU trim only, avoiding the pleated fabric entirely.
- Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion, especially given the weight of the pleated sleeves. Avoid crowding the dress in a closet where the pleats might become crushed or misshapen.
- Steaming: If the dress arrives with minor wrinkles, use a garment steamer on a low heat setting. Keep the steamer nozzle at least 6 inches away from the fabric to prevent damage to the faux leather or the delicate synthetic pleats.
