The woven construction and lining provide a high-quality, structured feel, but it is designed for comfortable movement during formal events.
How should I store the dress?

Gently shake the skirt or use a soft-bristle garment brush to carefully guide the fringe threads back into alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment features specialized embroidery and beaded detailing, it should be handled with care before and after wear. To prevent damage to the fringe, avoid wearing abrasive jewelry or accessories that could catch on the threads. When not in use, hang the dress on a wide, padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation and ensure the fringe hangs straight to avoid permanent creasing. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for all maintenance to protect the beads and delicate embroidery. Always check the garment tag before attempting any cleaning method.
