Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always follow the specific care label instructions provided inside the dress. Due to the delicate nature of the pleated fabric, it is recommended to store the dress hanging in a garment bag to prevent crushing. Avoid steaming the pleats directly, as excessive heat may cause them to lose their sharp crease. If wrinkles occur, a light press on the reverse side with a cool iron or a professional garment steamer from a distance is advised. When selecting undergarments, a strapless or adhesive bra is recommended to maintain the clean lines of the asymmetric one-shoulder silhouette.
