FAQs

Is this dress suitable for a formal evening event?

Yes, the sophisticated floral appliqué and glass bead detailing make it an excellent choice for formal evening celebrations.

How long is the dress?

The dress features a maxi length of approximately 144cm.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, due to the delicate glass beadwork and intricate appliqué, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

What material is used for this dress?

This garment is constructed from high-quality cotton, providing a breathable and comfortable fit.

Does the dress have a specific size fit?

This specific variant is a UK size 16, designed with a structured bodice and a flowing, pleated skirt.

Is the bodice sheer?

The bodice features intricate embroidery and floral appliqué, while the skirt is made from a semi-sheer woven construction for a graceful silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Beads appear loose after wear

Take the garment to a professional tailor or embroidery specialist to have the glass beads re-secured properly.

Fabric snagged during travel

Do not pull the thread. Use a clean pair of small embroidery scissors to carefully trim any loose threads near the embroidery or appliqué.

Wrinkles in the pleated skirt

Use a low-temperature steam setting from a distance to gently relax the cotton fibers without damaging the delicate pleats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated artisanal design with detailed beadwork
  • Flattering halterneck cut for a defined upper body
  • Versatile for multiple formal occasions
  • High-quality, breathable cotton construction
  • Elegant maxi length provides a polished aesthetic

Cons

  • Requires professional cleaning due to delicate beads
  • Long 144cm length may require hemming for shorter individuals
  • Hand-applied details require careful handling to avoid snagging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the garment, always store the dress hanging in a garment bag to prevent the delicate floral appliqué and glass beads from snagging on other items. Due to the artisanal beadwork, it is strictly recommended to use professional dry cleaning services rather than home laundering to preserve the embellishments. When wearing, ensure you check the halterneck clasp for security before heading out. This size 16 variant provides a structured fit, so consider your preferred level of drape around the waist, as the scalloped hem acts as a natural separator between the bodice and the skirt.
