What is the material composition?

The dress is crafted from high-quality cotton, known for its durability and comfortable feel.

Troubleshooting

Gold hardware appearing dull

Gently wipe the metallic clasps with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove oils and restore shine.

Fabric creasing during long travel

Use a handheld garment steamer rather than a traditional iron to smooth out creases without applying direct heat to the hardware.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated gold hardware adds a luxury aesthetic

  • Versatile design transitions seamlessly from office to dinner

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the metallic clasp detailing, it is recommended to wash the garment inside out or utilize a garment bag. Always follow the specific care label attached to the interior of the dress to prevent fabric degradation. For ironing, use a low to medium heat setting, taking care to navigate around the gold clasps to avoid scratching or heat damage. Ensure the garment is hung on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the structure of the collar and shoulder fit.
