  • Cleaning: Due to the satin back crepe fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the material's sheen and structure.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct heat on the sheen side.
  • Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to prevent creasing and to maintain its shape. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe to prevent snagging.
