Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the dress retains its structural integrity, always hang it on a wide, padded hanger to support the weight of the waterfall overlay and prevent shoulder distortion. Avoid folding the pleated section, as this can cause the pleats to lose their crisp definition. When steaming, keep the steamer at a safe distance from the crepe bodice to avoid water spots, and use a low-heat setting. Given the complexity of the design—mixing structured crepe with delicate pleating—professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the garment's finish and maintain the integrity of the folds. Ensure you store the dress in a garment bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
