No, the polyester material is heavyweight velvet with low stretch, so a precise fit is recommended.
This garment must be professionally dry cleaned only.
Due to the side cut-outs, a standard bra may be visible; strapless or adhesive bras are recommended.
It is best suited for indoor formal events, as the velvet may be warm and the sequins can be delicate.
Store hanging in a breathable garment bag, ensuring the bows are not crushed.
It offers a slightly fitted silhouette that follows the body's natural lines without being overly restrictive.
Ensure the hook-and-eye closure is fastened before zipping, and ask for assistance to avoid placing stress on the zipper teeth.
Use a professional garment steamer from a distance, or have the dress professionally pressed by a dry cleaner to avoid damaging the sequins.
Because the dress features low-stretch fabric, it is recommended to consult a size guide before purchase to ensure the bodice fits correctly. The closure system consists of a hidden back zipper, a hook-and-eye clasp at the top, and a small button for the keyhole; ensure all are fully engaged before attending your event. Regarding care, the garment is strictly dry-clean only. Do not attempt to machine wash or spot-clean with water, as this may damage the sequin detailing or alter the texture of the velvet. Store the dress hanging in a garment bag to prevent dust accumulation on the velvet surface and to avoid crushing the bows.
