FAQs
What is the total length of the dress?
The dress measures approximately 130cm in length, falling at the midi level for most heights.
Is the waist tie adjustable?
Yes, the wrap-effect tie detail allows you to adjust the cinching at the waist for a custom, comfortable fit.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
Due to the sleeveless and asymmetric shoulder design, a strapless or adhesive bra is recommended for the most seamless look.
What is the best way to store this dress?
Store on a high-quality padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to prevent the shoulder drape from losing its shape.
Is the fabric prone to stretching out?
Satin generally holds its shape well, but it is not a high-stretch material. Choose your size based on your waist measurement to ensure the wrap-effect fits correctly.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases in the satin
Use a low-heat garment steamer held at a distance. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron, which can burn or melt synthetic satin fibers.
Static cling affecting the drape of the skirt
Lightly mist the inside of the skirt with an anti-static spray or use a small amount of fabric softener diluted in water on a cloth to wipe the interior lining.
Minor fabric snagging
Do not pull on the snag. Gently manipulate the surrounding fabric to pull the thread back into place or consult a professional tailor for delicate repairs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment features an asymmetric design, ensure the shoulder drape is properly positioned before heading out. For care, avoid machine washing; as this is a premium satin piece, it is highly recommended to dry clean the item. If hand washing is necessary, use cold water and a delicate detergent specifically designed for silk or satin blends. Always hang the dress using the provided inner ribbons to maintain the shape of the shoulders and waist. Store in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and potential fabric degradation.
