FAQs

What occasions is the Parisa Silk Maxi Dress suitable for?

The dress is ideal for formal and semi-formal events such as weddings, galas, cocktail parties, and elegant evening gatherings. Its luxurious silk fabric and sophisticated design make it a versatile choice for year-round special occasions.

How should I determine my size?

It is recommended to consult the By Malene Birger size guide, paying attention to measurements like bust, waist, and hips. The dress has a slightly fitted profile, and the adjustable back tie allows for some flexibility.

Can I wash the dress at home?

No, the Parisa Silk Maxi Dress is made from 100% silk and requires dry cleaning only. Home washing methods can damage the fabric and its delicate details.

What is the significance of the handsewn leaf and floral details?

These details are artisanal embellishments handsewn onto the adjustable back closure, adding a unique, handcrafted element and a touch of refined artistry to the dress.

How should I store the dress to prevent damage?

Hang the dress on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and potential snags.

Is the floral pattern on the dress a bright or muted print?

The product description mentions a floral pattern in a purple hue. The exact intensity and style of the print would typically be visible in product imagery, but it is generally described as sophisticated.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased

Gently steam the dress on a low heat setting, ensuring the iron or steamer does not directly touch the fabric. For stubborn creases, consider professional dry cleaning and pressing.

Appliqué detail is loose

Carefully hand-stitch the appliqué back into place using a fine needle and silk thread. If unsure, consult a professional tailor or seamstress.

Fabric has lost its sheen

This can be a result of improper cleaning or exposure to harsh conditions. Ensure only professional dry cleaning is used and store the garment away from light and heat. Unfortunately, lost sheen is often irreversible.

Size fit is not as expected

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for By Malene Birger. Due to the fluid nature of the dress, minor fit adjustments may be possible through the tie-back, but significant alterations should be handled by a professional.

Care Instructions:

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or other harsh cleaning agents.
  • Storage: Hang the dress on a padded or silk-friendly hanger to maintain its shape. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
