• Footwear – Pair with platform boots (Victorian-inspired), strappy heels, or elegant ballet flats. Combat boots add an edge for grittier alternative styling

Care Instructions & Fabric Maintenance

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your gothic dress:

• Washing – Hand wash in cold water with gentle detergent; alternatively, use a delicate machine cycle in a mesh bag
• Drying – Lay flat to dry or hang on a padded hanger. Avoid direct sunlight, which may fade the black color
• Ironing – Use low heat on the acrylic fabric. For lace trim, press from the reverse side or use a pressing cloth
• Storage – Store on a hanger or folded with tissue paper in a cool, dark place away from moisture and pests
• Feather Care – Gently brush feather trim with a soft brush to maintain texture and remove dust
• Lace Preservation – Handle lace detailing with care to avoid snagging. If needed, gently hand wash the lace area separately
