Care Instructions for Your One Honey Gown

When your One Honey prom, formal, or bridal gown arrives, wash and dry your hands and remove jewellery to avoid snags. Lift it gently from packaging and hang immediately — never drop your dress on the ground. Use the hanger ribbons and double-loop them for support. Heavier evening gowns should always remain hung to avoid stretching.

Some gowns include a serial number tag verifying authenticity. You can easily cut this off, there is no dye inside. Once removed, your gown is not eligible for exchange. Always register your dress to ensure no one else wears the same style to your event.

We recommend preparing your One Honey gown at least 2–3 days before your event. This gives you plenty of time for gentle steaming and ensures your dress is photo-ready without any last-minute stress.

When wearing a corset gown, always have someone assist with lacing — never attempt to lace yourself, as overlacing can cause strain or damage. Apply your perfume, hairspray, and makeup before putting on your gown so the fabric remains spotless. When styling, select a smooth-bottom clutch and put on jewellery last to avoid snags or glitter loss.

After your event, store your dress in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dark place. Do not store your gown in hot rooms or cupboards, as heat can cause beads, sequins, or glue embellishments to lift.

Always use your One Honey garment bag. For flights, fold in half and carry it on board if possible. Hang as soon as you arrive.

• Refresh with a handheld steamer using distilled water.
• Test a hidden inside seam first.
• Steam gently from the inside out — never directly on sequins, glitter, or beading.
• Allow your gown to air-dry completely before wearing.

• Chiffon: Steam lightly from the inside; delicate and sheer.
• Jersey: Naturally wrinkle-resistant; ideal for travel.
• Satin: Luxurious yet delicate; avoid rubbing and heavy handling.
• Sequin & Glitter: Some shedding is normal. Never iron. Steam only from the inside.
• Tulle: Steam each layer separately to keep volume and structure.

Your bridal gown deserves the highest level of care and attention. Always handle your dress with freshly washed hands and hang it immediately, using the hanger ribbons double-looped for proper support. For best results, plan any steaming at least 3–4 days before your wedding — never on the morning of your big day.

When dressing, ensure the person assisting with the zipper or corset has clean hands, and remember that sometimes two people may be required to gently secure your gown. Keep red wine and drinks well away while dressing to avoid accidents. For travel, use a full-length garment bag and carry it on board whenever possible to protect the fabric.

Always steam from the inside out using distilled water, and avoid direct steam on delicate lace, sequins, or beading. For professional adjustments, explore our Bridal Alterations Guide, and keep your gown pristine with our Dress Care Essentials.

This guide provides a general overview only. All dress care is performed at your own risk, and One Honey cannot be held responsible for any damage arising from improper handling, overlacing, steaming, storage, or wear.

As with all garments, please note that buttons, zippers, and straps are delicate and should never be considered 100% fault-proof. One Honey is not liable should any issues occur due to normal wear, handling, or stress on these components.

For peace of mind on your special day, we recommend keeping fashion emergency essentials nearby, such as fabric glue, a small sewing kit with needle and thread, and Hollywood tape. These quick fixes can help you feel confident and prepared for any unexpected wardrobe mishaps.
