No, it is recommended that you use professional dry cleaning to maintain the fabric quality and the integrity of the hardware.

Strappy sandals or heeled mules are recommended to complement the elegant fishtail hem and halterneck design.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles upon arrival

Fabric snagging

Avoid wearing sharp jewelry or watches that may catch on the satin; if a snag occurs, consult a professional tailor rather than cutting it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality satin material with a premium, smooth finish
  • Sophisticated integrated gold hardware details
  • Versatile design suitable for various formal settings
  • Flattering fitted silhouette with an elegant fishtail hem

Cons

  • Satin fabric requires delicate cleaning methods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the quality of this satin piece, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Avoid contact with rough surfaces to prevent pulling the delicate satin fibers. Store the dress in a breathable garment bag, ensuring the gold-tone hardware is not pressed against the fabric to avoid potential snags or indentations. If the dress arrives with minor wrinkles from shipping, a light steam treatment from a distance is the safest way to smooth the fabric without damaging the luster of the material. For sizing, the UK 16 size is designed to fit a standard frame; consult a local tailor if adjustments are needed to the hem or waist to ensure the perfect fit.
