FAQs

Is this dress suitable for taller women?

This garment is specifically designed for a petite frame with a length of 130cm; it may appear significantly shorter on taller individuals.

Can I wash this in a washing machine?

No, the delicate satin material and architectural drape require professional dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's luster and shape.

What footwear works best with this midi length?

Pointed-toe heels are recommended for evening events, while refined, strappy sandals work well for summer occasions.

Does the waist-tie adjust the size?

The tie allows you to cinch the waist for a more defined silhouette, but it does not change the garment's base sizing.

What is the primary material used?

The dress is crafted from satin, providing a smooth, lustrous finish that reflects light.

Is the shoulder drape removable?

No, the asymmetric drape is a fixed architectural feature of the dress design.

Troubleshooting

Visible creases in the satin

Steam the garment gently from a distance. Do not place an iron directly on the satin surface as it can burn or leave water marks.

Waist tie coming loose

Ensure the wrap-effect tie is knotted securely; if it continues to slip, use a small, discreet safety pin on the inside of the seam.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Architectural, eye-catching design detail
  • Tailored specifically for petite proportions
  • Premium-feel satin fabric
  • Versatile for weddings and formal events

Cons

  • Requires professional dry cleaning
  • Satin fabric is susceptible to snagging
  • Limited stretch due to material structure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your satin midi dress, follow these guidelines:

  • Fit and Prep: Ensure you have chosen your correct UK size. The wrap-tie is intended to provide structural support; ensure it is tied firmly but comfortably.
  • Storage: Always hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent the satin from developing unwanted creases or shoulder bumps.
  • Cleaning: Given the delicate nature of the fabric and the asymmetric drape, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to prevent distortion of the sculptural elements.
  • Care: Keep the dress away from sharp jewellery or accessories that could catch on the delicate satin fibers.
