Scallop Bardot Ruffle Mesh Maxi - Goddiva - Pink - 14

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as galas, weddings, evening parties, proms, or any event where you wish to make a sophisticated and glamorous statement.

Due to the delicate sequins, mesh, and velvet components, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the dress's quality and appearance. For minor spots, gentle spot cleaning may be possible, but avoid harsh rubbing.

Use extreme caution. A *hand steamer on a low setting* from a distance is preferred for wrinkles. If ironing, use the lowest heat setting with a press cloth on the reverse side, and absolutely avoid direct contact with sequins and velvet.

A strapless or invisible strap bra is recommended to maintain the elegant, off-the-shoulder look of the Bardot neckline without showing straps.

Store it on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect the delicate fabrics and embellishments from snags and dust. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

The sequin bodice is designed with comfort in mind, typically lined to prevent direct contact with the skin. However, individual sensitivity to embellished fabrics can vary. Always handle with care when putting on or taking off the dress.

While made of polyester, the multi-layered design with sequins and velvet makes it more suitable for indoor events or evenings in mild to cool climates. It might feel less breathable in very hot and humid conditions.

Gently secure loose sequins with a needle and matching thread. Avoid pulling or tugging at the embellished areas. If many are loose, professional repair may be needed.

Ensure the dress is pulled up correctly. The Bardot neckline is designed to sit off the shoulders. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate, as a tighter fit can restrict movement.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or use a hand steamer on a low setting, keeping a safe distance, to gently restore volume. Do not iron directly on the ruffles as this can damage the mesh.

Gently brush the velvet nap with a soft, clean fabric brush or a piece of velvet in one direction to restore its sheen and texture. Avoid prolonged pressure on the velvet during storage.

Carefully trim any loose threads with sharp scissors. Do not pull the snag, as this can worsen the damage. For larger snags, professional repair is recommended.
