FAQs

Is this dress suitable for a formal wedding?

How should I clean the satin fabric?

This garment must be professionally dry cleaned to protect the integrity and finish of the satin material.

Is the dress true to size for petite frames?

Can I iron this dress?

It is not recommended to use a standard iron. Use a steamer on a low-heat setting if necessary, keeping the nozzle away from the fabric surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is crafted from delicate satin, proper care is essential to preserve its luster. Always hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulder drape. Avoid contact with rough surfaces, jewelry, or sharp objects that could snag the fabric. For maintenance, strictly adhere to dry cleaning recommendations provided on the care label to avoid water spots or fabric deformation. Ensure the waist tie is neatly fastened but not overtightened to prevent creasing of the satin fibers.
