Care & Maintenance Instructions
Preserve your dress’s structured beauty with proper care:
- Washing: Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent, or use a delicate machine cycle. The viscose-polyester blend requires careful handling to maintain its drape

- Hood Maintenance: The structured hood benefits from gentle hand washing to preserve its form. Avoid aggressive wringing
- Zipper Care: Keep the metal front zipper clean and dry. Occasionally apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to maintain smooth operation
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and preserve the dress’s architectural structure
- Fabric Treatment: The mesh panels may require separate attention—use a garment bag during washing to protect these delicate sections
