Care & Longevity Instructions

Washing: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals that may compromise the lace delicacy or fade the deep black dye.

Drying: Air dry flat or hanging to preserve the structured ruffles and prevent fabric distortion. Never machine dry.

Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dark space. The intricate lace and layered details require careful handling to maintain their theatrical silhouette.

Iron: Use low heat if needed; avoid direct contact with lace details. Steam is preferable to maintain texture and delicate ornamentation.
