Garment Care

1. The fabrics used in this dress are made from a variety of sources. Satins and lining fabrics are polyester. The chiffons and georgette fabrics are either polyester or silk. All of these fabrics are of high quality and are very delicate.

2. With proper care this dress will ensure that you look elegant for a number of special occasions, but if you treat it like a pair of old jeans it will not last very long at all!

3. Beaded dresses are always very delicate and you must take time and care when putting on and taking off the garment. Most dresses have ‘lace-up’ backs, some have a short zip and one or two of our dresses have long zips. The zips are sewn ‘close in’ to give a smooth appearance and it is important that the wearer takes care when using the zip to make sure that the fabric or beads are not caught and damaged.

4. As many as two hundred beads and sequins may be stitched on using a single thread, therefore it is vital that if a thread does break, the ends must be knotted to prevent too many beads and sequins from being lost. A small packet of matching beads are supplied with each dress, any damage to the beading must be repaired as soon as possible. It’s also a good idea to always take a few safety pins with you just in case!

5. Be aware that some jewellery such as necklaces, bracelets, watches and rings can all catch the beadwork, and could break the stitching and damage the fabric.

6. This garment should NEVER be machine washed or tumble dried.

7. If it becomes necessary to clean the garment, then take it to a specialist dry-cleaning company to have it spot cleaned.

8. When storing the dress it is very important that the weight of the dress is supported by the hanger loops sewn into the inner seams, if you have space then store the dress flat.

9. Beaded dresses should always be covered when being stored.

10. Prom dresses are NOT FIRE PROOF; do not allow them near ANY source of ignition, open fire or flame.
