Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the dress stretchy?

Yes, the bandage-style knit construction offers significant stretch to provide a sculpting, form-fitting silhouette while maintaining comfort.

How do I wash this dress?

This garment should be dry cleaned only to preserve the metallic foil finish and the integrity of the fringe.

What undergarments are best suited for this style?

Seamless or nude-colored laser-cut undergarments are recommended due to the form-conscious fit of the bandage-style bodice.

Does the metallic finish rub off?

While the finish is durable, avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces or carrying rough-textured handbags that could cause friction against the foil.

Can the length be altered?

Due to the fringe placement at the hip, altering the length is complex and should only be performed by a professional tailor experienced with fringe-trimmed knitwear.

What is the best way to travel with this dress?

Use a long, protective garment bag and hang the dress to prevent the fringe from bunching or becoming tangled.

Troubleshooting

Fringe tangling after storage

Gently shake the garment to allow the fringe to fall naturally and use a steamer from a distance to release tension.

Snag in the knit or fringe

Do not pull the loose thread. Use a small crochet hook or sewing needle to gently pull the snag back to the inside of the garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your dress, store it hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent the fringe from becoming permanently creased or tangled. If traveling, use a dedicated garment bag to protect the metallic foil finish from friction against other items. Given the metallic nature of the fabric, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or direct contact with heavy perfumes, which can tarnish the foil. Due to the delicate fringe and metallic coating, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended rather than machine washing. When putting the dress on, step into it rather than pulling it over your head to maintain the integrity of the bandage-knit structure and prevent snags on the fringe.
