FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is perfect for special occasions such as weddings, formal parties, evening events, and races, where a statement of glamour and refinement is desired.
How should I accessorize this dress?
Given the all-over embellishment, the dress requires minimal accessorizing. Clear heels offer a contemporary look, while metallic strappy sandals and a clutch complement a more traditional formal aesthetic.
What is the length of the midi dress?
The elegant midi length falls approximately 106cm from the shoulder.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes, the dress is made from a figure-enhancing stretch fabric that ensures a comfortable, contoured silhouette.
How do I clean the dress?
The dress requires 'Dry Clean Only' to maintain its quality and the integrity of the crystal embellishment.
Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?
While the fabric is polyester, the embellishment may make it feel warmer. It is best suited for evening events or cooler climates. Layering options would depend on the event's formality.
Troubleshooting
Crystals appear loose or damaged
Inspect the garment carefully. For minor looseness, a seamstress may be able to re-secure individual crystals. For significant damage, consult the retailer for potential repair options or consider the garment's condition.
Dress feels uncomfortable due to stretch fabric
Ensure the correct size is being worn. The stretch fabric should provide a snug but comfortable fit. If the fabric feels constricting, it may be too small.
Fabric has lost its shape
This can occur with over-stretching or improper care. Gentle dry cleaning and proper storage on a padded hanger can help maintain the garment's original shape.
