Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment uses delicate satin, proper storage and cleaning are essential. Always hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulder drape. Avoid contact with rough surfaces to prevent pulling the satin threads. For cleaning, follow the care label instructions strictly; dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric's integrity and the silhouette's structure. If the dress arrives with minor creases from transit, use a professional steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to avoid water spots or heat damage.
