PRODUCT MAINTENANCE GUIDE

At Goddiva, we believe that our dresses are not just a fashion choice but an investment meant to last a lifetime. To help you maintain their beauty and integrity, we’ve put together a Product Maintenance Guide. This guide offers essential tips and tricks to keep your Goddiva dresses looking fresh and new for years to come, ensuring you can enjoy them for every special occasion. With a little care and attention, your favourite pieces will remain as stunning as the day you first wore them!

SEQUIN


When trying on, we suggest:

  • You remove all jewellery so it doesn’t get caught in the item.
  • Avoid wearing make-up when trying on any items.
  • Try not to wear any perfume, just in case you don’t like it, we won’t be able to accept it back.
  • Invisible zips may feel stiff with thicker fabrics. For smooth closure, gently pinch the fabric while pulling
    the zip.

Just a little note:

The sequins may feel scratchy on sensitive skin, which is normal for sequin fabrics. For added comfort, try wearing a slip or layering underneath.

Sequins and embelishments may snag delicate fabrics due to friction. Handle with care to preserve quality and appearance.

Always refer to the care label for complete, item-specific care instructions.

FEATHERS

Feathers don’t like moisture! Avoid getting your dress wet, and if it happens, gently air dry it away from direct sunlight or heat to keep the feathers fluffy.


Feathers are delicate, so try not to crush or bend them. Store your dress on a padded hanger with plenty of space to avoid flattening those beautiful plumes.


Skip the washing machine! Instead, lightly dust your feathered dress with a soft brush or give it a gentle shake to keep it looking fabulous without damaging the feathers.
