Due to the mix of velvet, satin, and lace, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the fabric textures.
The dress is designed with precision seaming to pull in the waist; the cotton-elastane blend provides a slight amount of stretch for a comfortable fit.
It is generally advised against; the satin lapel collar acts as a focal point, and adding a necklace often creates visual clutter.
The dress sits at a mini length, measuring approximately 89cm from the top to the hem.
The lace sleeves are designed to be a delicate, semi-sheer element that provides coverage while maintaining a light, airy look.
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping a safe distance from the velvet and lace sections.
Gently pull the snagged thread through to the inside of the sleeve with a thin needle rather than cutting it.
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, store it on a high-quality, wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the tailored structure. Because of the delicate lace sleeves, be mindful of jewelry or bag clasps that could snag the fabric. As the garment contains a mix of velvet and satin, it is recommended to have it professionally dry cleaned rather than machine washed to preserve the finish of the fabrics and the precision of the seams.
