FAQs

Is this dress suitable for someone who is 5'7"?

This specific 'Tall' model is cut for individuals 5'10" and above. While it may fit, you might find the proportions for the waist and hem are longer than standard sizing.

Can I iron this dress?

It is not recommended to use a standard iron. The heat and pressure can damage the beading. A professional garment steamer is the safest option.

What is the best way to store this dress?

Keep it in a dedicated, breathable garment bag in a cool, dry closet. Ensure it is hung properly on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the cape sleeves.

Does the dress have a lining?

Yes, the woven construction includes a lining to ensure the dress is opaque and comfortable against the skin, while maintaining the fluid drape of the outer layer.

Is the material stretchy?

The woven fabric is selected for structure and fluidity rather than high elasticity. It is designed to drape over the body rather than provide a body-con fit.

Troubleshooting

Minor snagging of beads

Do not pull on the snag. Carefully adjust the surrounding fabric to release the snagged thread or bead. If damage is significant, take it to a professional tailor or seamstress.

Wrinkles in the fabric

Use a handheld steamer on a low setting. Keep the steamer away from the beaded areas and steam the plain woven sections of the skirt and sleeves first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Expertly tailored proportions for tall women
  • Sophisticated design suitable for high-end events
  • High-quality woven fabric allows for easy movement
  • Unique beaded embellishments provide a premium finish

Cons

  • Requires professional dry cleaning
  • Delicate beadwork requires careful storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because of the delicate beaded embellishments, this garment requires specific care to prevent damage. We strongly recommend professional dry cleaning only; attempting to wash this dress in a home machine will likely damage the beading and the integrity of the fabric. Store the dress in a breathable garment bag, preferably hanging it vertically to prevent the beads from snagging on other clothing items. If the dress arrives wrinkled from transport, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer head several inches away from the beaded sections to avoid heat damage to the embellishments.
