FAQs
Is the dress suitable for outdoor weddings?
Yes, the breathable yet structured stretch fabric is versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor formal events.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress is approximately 118cm in length, designed to create a floor-sweeping silhouette.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
Due to the asymmetric off-shoulder neckline, a strapless or multi-way bra is recommended to remain hidden.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
Yes, it is made from compact stretch viscose, which provides comfort and ease of movement while maintaining a structured look.
How should I store the dress?
Hang the dress on a padded hanger to ensure the sculptural collar retains its shape and to prevent creasing of the skirt.
Troubleshooting
The neckline collar feels loose or slips down.
Ensure the bodice is snug and properly fitted; if necessary, use fashion tape to secure the inner lining to your skin for extra stability.
Fabric shows minor wrinkles from storage.
Use a low-heat steamer held at a distance, ensuring you do not apply direct heat to the structured folds of the collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your measurements against the UK size 14 specifications before use. Because of the bandeau style, it is recommended to pair this dress with a strapless, high-support bra or a bodysuit that provides security without interfering with the neckline. Regarding care, the dress is constructed from high-quality polyester and viscose, which holds its shape best when handled with care. Always check the internal garment label for specific washing instructions. Typically, for a structured piece like this, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the integrity of the folded collar and the precision of the ruched panels.
