Full details

FAQs
What type of occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, black-tie events, evening parties, and other special celebrations where a sophisticated and glamorous look is desired.
What is the fabric of the dress made from?
The dress is made from 100% Polyester, specifically a flowing chiffon fabric.
How should I care for this chiffon dress?
It is best to hand wash the dress in cold water and lay it flat or hang it to dry. Avoid machine washing and drying. Use a cool iron on the reverse side if needed.
Does the dress have any stretch?
While the chiffon fabric has a slight natural drape, the dress's structure, particularly the mermaid hem, is designed for a specific fit. It does not typically have significant stretch built into the design.
What undergarments are recommended for the off-the-shoulder neckline?
Strapless bras or adhesive bras are generally recommended to maintain the clean line of the off-the-shoulder design.
How does the mermaid hem affect movement?
The mermaid hem flares out from the knee, designed to create an elegant silhouette. While it allows for walking, it can feel more restrictive than a straight hem, especially for very active movement.
Is this dress available in other colours?
This specific product listing is for the Black colour. Please check other listings for availability in different colours.
Troubleshooting
Dress arrived with wrinkles
Gently steam the dress on a cool setting or use a cool iron on the reverse side. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before wearing.
Chiffon snagged or torn
For minor snags, careful manipulation with a needle might help. For larger tears, professional repair is recommended due to the fabric's delicate nature.
Neckline doesn't sit correctly
Adjust the position of the off-the-shoulder sleeves. Ensure you are wearing appropriate undergarments that do not interfere with the neckline's drape.
Dress feels tight in the hips
The mermaid hem is designed to be fitted. If the fit is too restrictive, consider the next size up if available, or consult with a tailor for potential alterations.
