Professional dry cleaning is recommended to protect the feather detailing and the structured bandage fabric.
The bandeau bodice is structured, but it does not contain a built-in bra. It is recommended to wear a strapless adhesive bra for best results.
The dress is designed as a 'Figure Form' piece, meaning it is intended to be very fitted. If you are between sizes, consider your comfort preference for compression.
Avoid direct ironing on the feathers. Use a garment steamer on a very low setting if needed for the fabric, keeping away from the trim.
The bandage knit construction is designed for a firm, sculpting hold, which provides minimal stretch compared to standard casual dresses.
Gently shake the garment to fluff the feathers. You can also use a cool hair dryer setting held at a distance to help them regain volume.
Do not pull at the thread. Carefully push the snag through to the inside of the garment using a blunt needle.
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, always store it hanging in a breathable garment bag, ensuring the feathers have space to avoid being flattened. Given the polyester bandage knit and delicate feather additions, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the trim. When wearing, avoid contact with sharp jewelry or accessories that could catch on the knit or the feather quill. Check the fit against your standard sizing, as the bandage material is designed to be form-fitting and does not have the give of stretch jersey.
