Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles upon arrival

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom or use a professional garment steamer on the lowest heat setting from a distance.

Fabric snagging

Avoid wearing sharp rings or bracelets that can catch the satin; if a snag occurs, do not pull it, as this may ruin the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this dress is made from refined satin, care is paramount to longevity. Avoid contact with rough jewelry or surfaces that could cause pulls in the fabric. We strongly recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain the integrity of the bias-cut hem and the vibrancy of the material. For storage, hang the dress on a padded hanger in a cool, dry closet away from direct sunlight, which can fade the fabric over time. If the garment arrives with minor transit wrinkles, use a professional garment steamer on the lowest setting, keeping the nozzle several inches away from the satin surface.
