Due to the leather material and structured design, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain its quality and shape.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Hang the dress on a suitable hanger and allow it to air out. For stubborn creases, professional steaming at a dry cleaner is recommended. Avoid ironing leather directly.

Gold-tone buttons lose their shine.

Gently polish the buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which could damage the finish.

Fit is too tight or loose in specific areas.

Consult a professional tailor for alterations. The structured design lends itself well to minor adjustments for a personalized fit.

Leather appears dry or dull.

Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for clothing. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
