FAQs

What type of fabric is this dress made from?

The dress is made from a premium scuba fabric, which is a type of polyester known for its smooth, structured feel and ability to hold a defined shape.

How should I care for this scuba maxi dress?

It is recommended to hand wash or use a gentle cycle in cold water. Lay flat or hang to dry, and iron on a low setting inside out. Dry cleaning is also an option.

Is this dress suitable for plus-size figures?

The dress is designed to sculpt and define the figure. It is available in various UK sizes, including larger sizes like UK 18, and its design aims to be flattering for different body types.

What kind of bra is best with the cowl back?

A low-back, backless, or adhesive bra is often recommended to complement the sultry cowl back detail without being visible.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, like most garments, this dress can be altered. Professional tailoring services can adjust the length or make minor fit modifications.

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is perfect for formal events such as evening parties, weddings (as a guest or bridesmaid), galas, and black-tie affairs.

Does the scuba fabric have stretch?

While scuba fabric provides structure, it typically has some degree of stretch. However, it is more about maintaining shape than being a highly elastic material.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears too long

The dress can be professionally hemmed to the desired length. Consult a tailor for alterations.

Wrinkles or creases in fabric

Gently iron the dress on the inside on a low heat setting or use a steamer. Avoid direct heat on the outer surface.

Stuck zipper

Gently try to wiggle the zipper up or down. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a pencil lead or a tiny bit of soap if it continues to stick.

Fabric feels stiff

This is characteristic of scuba fabric providing structure. After wearing and proper care, it may soften slightly. Ensure correct washing methods are followed.
