FAQs

What is the primary material used?

The dress is crafted from high-quality polyester, utilizing a lightweight sheer crepe base with an opaque overlay.

Is this dress suitable for machine washing?

No, due to the delicate nature of the sheer crepe and the complex frill construction, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

How should I store this garment?

Hang the dress on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the structure of the off-the-shoulder neckline and prevent frill distortion.

Does the dress have any stretch?

The polyester crepe fabric offers minimal stretch, so it is recommended to verify your measurements against UK sizing standards.

Where is the zipper located?

The dress features a concealed zipper along the side for a seamless, clean look.

Troubleshooting

Side zipper appears stuck

Ensure the fabric surrounding the zip is clear of the teeth and check for any internal lining caught in the track; do not force it.

Neckline drape is uneven

Adjust the drape manually while standing before a mirror to ensure the fold rests symmetrically on the shoulders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the Ginnie Frill dress, consider the following:

  1. Storage: Always store on a padded hanger to support the neckline and prevent the weight of the cascading frills from distorting the shoulder drape.
  2. Cleaning: Given the material is 100% polyester crepe with sheer sections, it is highly recommended to use professional dry cleaning services to avoid damaging the structure of the frills or affecting the fabric's finish.
  3. Handling: When dressing, ensure jewelry is put on after the garment to avoid catching any pieces on the delicate fabric layers or the side zipper.
  4. Fit: This garment is sized according to UK standards; ensure accurate measurements around the waist as the internal construction is tailored for a structured fit.
