Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon receiving your dress, carefully remove it from its packaging. It is recommended to hang the dress immediately on a padded hanger to allow any transit creases to naturally relax.
Compatibility (Styling)
This dress pairs elegantly with delicate jewelry, such as subtle pendant necklaces or drop earrings, given its high neckline. Classic closed-toe heels or elegant sandals are ideal footwear choices. A clutch bag or small evening purse will complete the sophisticated look. For colder weather, consider a formal wrap or pashmina.
Care
Due to the delicate nature of satin back crepe, dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity, drape, and finish. If hand washing is necessary:
- Use cold water and a very mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
- Gently swish the dress in the water; do not rub, wring, or twist.
- Rinse thoroughly with cold water until all detergent is removed.
- Lay the dress flat on a clean, dry towel, gently rolling the towel to absorb excess water.
- Hang or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
To remove wrinkles, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer head slightly away from the fabric. Alternatively, iron on a very low heat setting from the *inside out* with a press cloth.
