Care & Maintenance for Longevity

To preserve the intricate lace and maintain the dress’s pristine condition:

• Hand Wash Recommended: Use cool water with gentle detergent specifically formulated for delicate fabrics

• Lay Flat to Dry: Air-dry away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation
• Store Carefully: Keep on a padded hanger in a cool, dark place to maintain the dress’s shape and prevent stretching
• Minimize Wrinkles: Use a low-heat steamer rather than an iron to avoid damaging the delicate lace
• Protect from Snags: The lace is delicate—avoid rough surfaces and sharp objects that could create tears
