FAQs
What is the best way to clean this dress?

Is the fabric stretchy?
The dress is made from a structured, woven satin. It is designed for a tailored fit rather than a stretch-based fit.
What kind of shoes go best with this midi dress?
Strappy metallic heels or minimalist block sandals work best to complement the midi length and the formal aesthetic of the dress.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
The sleeveless, refined shoulder design may be visible with some straps. A racerback or convertible bra is recommended to keep straps hidden.

This dress is perfect for formal events, summer weddings, the races, or evening cocktail celebrations.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases in the satin
Use a garment steamer on a low setting. Do not iron directly on the satin as this can cause permanent shine or scorch marks.
Fabric snagged or pulled during wear
Do not pull the snag. Gently manipulate the surrounding fabric to help the snagged thread settle back into the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, consider the following care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the satin material, professional dry cleaning is recommended to prevent damage to the fabric texture and sheen.
- Storage: Always hang the dress on a high-quality padded or contoured hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the drape of the cowl neck.
- Steaming: If wrinkles occur, use a handheld fabric steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to avoid water spots or heat damage.
- Handling: Be mindful of jewelry or accessories that could catch on the satin weave, as the fabric is susceptible to pulls and snags.
