Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Simara is a structured piece, proper care is essential to preserve the integrity of the pleats. Always hang the dress on a high-quality, padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion or creases in the bodice. This garment is strictly dry-clean only; do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry, as heat and agitation will permanently destroy the pleated pattern. When storing, ensure the dress is kept in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the pink fabric. Compatibility-wise, the UK 16 fit is designed for standard proportions; we recommend checking your measurements against Phase Eight sizing charts to ensure the cinched waist sits correctly at your natural midline.
