Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Mikado gown in pristine condition, it is best to steam the dress before wearing to remove any shipping creases from the structured fabric. Avoid using heavy irons directly on the floral print to prevent scorching or sheen damage; a steamer is the preferred method for maintenance.
Given the structured nature of the fabric, ensure the gown is stored on a high-quality, wide-shouldered hanger in a breathable garment bag. This prevents the bodice from losing its shape. The gown runs true to a standard UK size 12, but because the fabric lacks significant stretch, we recommend ensuring your measurements align with the fitted waist before purchase. For cleaning, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the Mikado weave and the button-front detailing.
