Care Instructions:

Fabric: Satin Twill
Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the satin twill and its structured design, dry cleaning is the recommended method to maintain the fabric's sheen and the garment's form.
Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric to avoid damaging the sheen. A pressing cloth may be beneficial.
Storage: Hang the dress on a padded or wide-shouldered hanger to prevent stretching or distortion of the bodice and hemline. Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and light.
