FAQs
Is this dress suitable for a black-tie event?
Yes, the maxi length and embellished detailing make this dress a perfect candidate for black-tie optional or formal dress codes.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
The bodice design is created to provide structure, but depending on the neckline, a plunge or strapless bra is recommended for the most seamless look.
How should I store the dress long-term?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place inside a breathable fabric garment bag to prevent dust and accidental snags.
Does the dress have any stretch?
The fabric is chosen for its drape and formality; it is generally recommended to select your true size for the best fit at the waist.
Can the sleeves be shortened?
Because of the beadwork, altering the length of the sleeves is a complex task that should only be performed by a professional tailor experienced with beaded evening wear.
Troubleshooting
Loose beads on the sleeve
Take the garment to a professional tailor or embroidery specialist to secure the threads rather than attempting to glue or re-stitch them yourself.
Wrinkling of the draped fabric
Use a professional garment steamer from a distance, ensuring you do not apply direct heat to the beaded areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the dress, treat the fabric and embellishments with extreme care. Because of the delicate beading, this garment should not be machine washed or tumble dried. Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the drape and the beading. When storing, ensure the dress is kept in a breathable garment bag away from sharp jewelry or accessories that could catch on the beaded sleeves. If you are between sizes, consider a professional fitting to ensure the draped waist sits perfectly on your frame.
