Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Upon receiving your dress, carefully remove it from its packaging. It's recommended to hang it immediately on a padded hanger to allow any creases from shipping to naturally fall out. If significant wrinkles are present, use a garment steamer on a low setting. Keep the steamer a safe distance from the fabric, particularly the sequined bodice and velvet waistband, to avoid direct heat damage. Do not iron directly over sequins or velvet.
Compatibility
This maxi dress is designed for formal and glamorous occasions.
- Accessories: Pair with minimalist, elegant jewelry to complement the sequin bodice, such as stud earrings or a delicate bracelet. A clutch bag in a matching or complementary tone is ideal.
- Footwear: High heels or elegant sandals are recommended to enhance the dress's length and graceful silhouette.
- Outerwear: A simple wrap, shawl, or tailored coat can be worn for cooler evenings, ensuring it doesn't detract from the dress's details.
Care
Maintaining the beauty of your Scallop Bardot Ruffle Mesh Maxi requires careful attention:
- Cleaning: Info needed: Always refer to the care label sewn into the garment for specific instructions. Due to the delicate sequin embellishments and mixed materials (polyester, velvet), professional dry cleaning is often the safest and recommended method. If hand washing is an option per the care label, use cold water and a mild detergent, gently swishing the dress without rubbing or twisting. Pay special attention to sequined areas.
- Drying: Lay the dress flat on a clean towel or hang it on a padded hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or machine drying, which can damage sequins and fabric.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and snags. Avoid compressing the sequins or velvet.
