FAQs

What type of undergarments should be worn with this dress?

Due to the open back design, a low-back bra or adhesive bra is recommended. For the front, seamless underwear is ideal to maintain a smooth silhouette.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Yes, while designed for summer, the dress can be styled for cooler weather by layering with a chic shawl, a faux fur stole, or a tailored blazer.

How do I store this dress to maintain its condition?

Store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect it from dust and snags. Avoid folding for long periods, as this can cause creases in the chiffon and potentially damage the embellishments.

Is the floral applique pattern the same on all dresses?

As the appliques are hand-sewn, there may be slight variations in placement, which contributes to the unique character of each dress. The overall design and pattern are consistent.

What is the return policy for this dress?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on returns and exchanges, including any conditions related to worn or altered garments.

Can the embellishments be ironed directly?

No, direct ironing on the embellishments can cause them to melt or become damaged. Always iron on the reverse side of the fabric on a low heat setting, using a pressing cloth for protection.

Troubleshooting

Dress arrived with snagged fabric or loose embellishments.

Carefully inspect the garment upon arrival. For minor snags, you may be able to gently tease the threads back. If embellishments are loose, a needle and matching thread can be used for a discreet repair. Contact customer service if the damage is significant.

Dress does not fit as expected.

Refer to the brand's specific size chart for Maya Deluxe and compare your measurements. Ensure you have ordered the correct UK size. If the fit is still off, consider if alterations are needed or if a different size is required.

Chiffon fabric seems sheer.

This dress is lined, but chiffon can sometimes appear sheer depending on lighting. Ensure proper undergarments are worn. If additional coverage is desired, a slip or underskirt can be worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required upon receipt. It should be carefully unpacked to avoid snagging the delicate fabric or embellishments.

Compatibility: As a dress, compatibility refers to styling. This dress pairs well with strappy heels, elegant sandals, and can be layered with a light shawl or bolero for cooler evenings. It is designed for adult female wearers and is available in various sizes, with this specific guide focusing on UK size 8.

Care: Due to the delicate chiffon fabric and hand-sewn embellishments, hand washing is strongly recommended. Use a mild detergent in cold water and rinse thoroughly. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Lay flat or hang on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Dry cleaning is an alternative, but inform the cleaner about the embellishments and delicate fabric. Ironing should be done on a low heat setting, preferably with a pressing cloth, and on the reverse side of the fabric, avoiding direct contact with the appliques.
