FAQs

What type of fabric is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from 100% viscose georgette, a lightweight and semi-sheer fabric.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, paying close attention to measurements provided. This item is listed as a UK size 16.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

While primarily designed for warm weather, it can be layered with a fine-knit wrap, cardigan, or jacket for cooler evenings.

What is the best way to clean this dress?

Hand wash or dry clean is recommended to preserve the fabric and print. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

What is the length of the dress?

The maxi length is approximately 150cm, offering floor-skimming coverage.

Is the dress suitable as swimwear cover-up?

Yes, the open back and lightweight fabric make it an ideal and stylish option for wearing over a swimsuit.

What kind of bra should I wear with this dress?

Due to the halterneck and open back, a strapless bra, a backless bra, or simply wearing it over a swimsuit is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too sheer

Consider wearing a slip dress underneath or a complementary colored swimsuit if using as a cover-up.

Fabric is creasing significantly

Iron on a low heat setting, potentially using a pressing cloth or steaming the garment. Ensure it is completely dry before ironing.

Halterneck tie feels insecure

Ensure the knot is tied securely. If more support is desired, a subtle fashion tape can be applied to keep straps in place.

Print appears faded after washing

Ensure washing is done according to care instructions (hand wash or dry clean) and avoid harsh detergents or excessive rubbing.
