Troubleshooting

The fabric shows wrinkles after storage

Use a professional garment steamer at a low heat setting, keeping the steamer head at a distance to avoid water spotting the satin.

The side zipper feels stiff

Ensure the fabric is pulled taut before zipping and check that the internal lining is not caught in the teeth of the zipper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated architectural design inspired by classical aesthetics
  • High-quality satin material with a flattering subtle sheen
  • Versatile yet bold silhouette suitable for formal occasions
  • Expert construction with high-end Italian finishing

Cons

  • Delicate satin fabric requires professional maintenance
  • Open-back design limits the choice of undergarments
  • Specific fit requirements due to the asymmetric wrap construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the satin material and the specific drape of the dress, please follow these guidelines:

  1. Handling: Use the concealed side zipper carefully to avoid snagging the satin fabric.
  2. Undergarments: Given the open-back and asymmetric shoulder, we recommend adhesive bras or backless lingerie options for a seamless look.
  3. Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the satin and the complex gathering, this garment should be professionally dry-cleaned only. Do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulder strap and prevent permanent creases in the satin.
