FAQs
What type of fabric is the dress made from?
The dress is made from a woven fabric, designed for elegant drape and movement.
How should I best care for the lace detailing?
It is advisable to dry clean the dress. If hand washing is attempted, use extreme caution around the lace, avoiding harsh scrubbing.
Can this dress be altered?
Yes, like most garments, it can be altered by a professional tailor. However, alterations to the pleating may be complex.
Is the dress suitable for very hot weather?
While the woven fabric offers a refined feel, it may not be the most breathable option for extremely high temperatures compared to natural fibers like linen or cotton.

Gently steam the dress to reactivate the pleats. Avoid excessive ironing, which can damage the fabric.
Lace detailing snagged
Carefully try to smooth the snagged thread with tweezers. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a garment steamer on a low setting to restore softness and drape.
