FAQs
What kind of fabric is the dress made from?
The dress is crafted from luxurious satin-back crepe fabric, known for its beautiful drape and soft feel.
Can I iron this dress?
It is not recommended to iron the dress directly. The satin-back crepe fabric is delicate and can be damaged by direct heat. Instead, use a garment steamer or hang it in a steamy bathroom to remove wrinkles.
How should I clean the dress?
Dry cleaning is strongly recommended for this dress to maintain the fabric's quality and appearance. For minor spills, gentle spot cleaning may be possible, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Is the length adjustable?
The dress has a floor-length design. While the tie shoulders offer some adjustment for the bodice, the hem length is fixed and may require professional tailoring to achieve your perfect fit with your chosen shoes.
What kind of bra should I wear with the V-neckline?
A seamless, supportive bra is recommended to complement the V-neckline and ensure a smooth, flattering silhouette under the fitted bodice.
Can this dress be worn for occasions other than weddings?
Yes, its elegant and sophisticated design makes it suitable for various formal events such as galas, black-tie parties, or other special occasions.
How should I store the dress?
Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect the delicate fabric from dust and snags. Ensure it's clean and dry before storage.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage or travel.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom or use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the fabric. Avoid direct ironing, which can damage satin-back crepe.
The tie shoulders feel loose or are slipping.
Re-tie the shoulders, ensuring the knot is firm but not too tight. Adjust the length of the tie to provide the desired support and aesthetic. You can experiment with different knot styles for added security.
The dress length is too long.
It is highly recommended to have the dress professionally hemmed by a tailor. Bring the exact shoes you plan to wear with the dress to ensure an accurate length alteration.
Fabric appears creased or snagged.
For creases, follow steaming advice. For snags, *do not pull the thread*. Gently push the snagged thread back into the fabric from the inside using a needle or the blunt end of a small pin. If the snag is significant, consult a professional cleaner or tailor for repair.
There's a minor stain on the dress.
Gently blot the stain immediately with a clean, damp cloth (water only). For more stubborn stains, use a very small amount of mild, pH-neutral soap on a clean cloth, dabbing carefully. *Always test on an inconspicuous area first*. For best results, take the dress to a professional dry cleaner as soon as possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before Wearing
Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove the dress from its packaging. Inspect for any creases or wrinkles from storage.
Steaming: Due to the delicate nature of satin-back crepe, *do not iron directly*. Use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer head a few inches away from the fabric, to gently remove any wrinkles. For best results, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period.
Fit Check: Try on the dress with the shoes you plan to wear. Pay attention to the length to ensure it skims the floor without tripping or dragging. Adjust the tie shoulders for a secure and comfortable fit. If the length is too long, consider professional tailoring.
Compatibility
Accessories: This dress pairs well with minimalist, elegant jewellery. Think delicate necklaces, stud earrings, or simple bracelets. Avoid overly bulky or intricate pieces that might snag the delicate fabric.
Footwear: Strappy heels or elegant block heels are ideal. Ensure your shoes provide the correct height for the dress's length.
Undergarments: A seamless, supportive bra is recommended to maintain the flattering V-neckline and smooth silhouette.
Care Instructions
Cleaning: Due to the satin-back crepe material, dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric's integrity and drape. If spot cleaning is necessary, use a very mild, pH-neutral detergent diluted in cold water and gently dab the affected area with a clean, soft cloth. *Always test on an inconspicuous area first*.
Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and snags. Avoid hanging it in direct sunlight. Ensure it is completely clean and dry before long-term storage to prevent damage.
