Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup (Unpacking & First Wear)
The Wallis Chiffon Pleated Sleeve Midi Dress comes ready to wear. Upon receiving, gently unpack the dress and hang it immediately on a padded hanger to allow any transit creases to naturally fall out. A light steam may be used on a low setting if needed, avoiding direct contact with pleats to preserve their structure.
Compatibility (Styling & Accessories)
This dress is highly versatile for styling:
- Footwear: Strappy metallic heels, delicate pumps, or elegant sandals.
- Accessories: Fascinators (for race days), delicate or statement earrings, necklaces, and clutch bags.
- Outerwear: A sophisticated shawl or a tailored blazer for cooler evenings.
Care (Material & Maintenance)
The dress is made from Polyester chiffon. Proper care will ensure its longevity and maintain its elegant appearance:
- Washing: Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, or machine wash on a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag. Do not bleach.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water; do not wring. Lay flat to dry on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger, away from direct sunlight.
- Ironing/Steaming: Use a cool iron if necessary, placing a press cloth between the iron and the fabric, or use a steamer on a low setting, keeping a distance. Avoid pressing directly on pleats to maintain their crispness.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to prevent snags and maintain its shape.
