FAQs

Is the dress stretchy?

Yes, the bandage-style knit construction provides significant stretch to ensure a sculpting, form-fitting silhouette while allowing for movement.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a maxi length with an approximate 125cm centre back measurement.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Due to the metallic foil finish and fringe detailing, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the quality of the fabric.

How should I store this dress?

Store hanging in a breathable garment bag to keep the fringe straight and protect the metallic finish from abrasion.

What kind of undergarments work best?

Seamless, skin-tone undergarments are recommended to complement the form-conscious fit of the bandage knit.

Is the metallic finish prone to fading?

The foil finish is durable for event wear, but it should be stored out of direct sunlight and cleaned professionally to maintain its reflective properties.

Troubleshooting

Fringe strands becoming tangled

Gently shake the skirt out vertically and use your fingers to smooth individual fringe strands before storage.

Metallic finish showing scuff marks

Avoid contact with abrasive textures; if minor scuffs occur, keep the area clean and avoid using chemical solvents that can strip the foil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress retains its metallic luster and structural integrity, always hang the garment in a breathable garment bag when not in use. Avoid storing it tightly compressed between other items, as this can crush the fringe.

Due to the delicate nature of the foil finish and the fringe, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. If spot cleaning is necessary, use only a soft, slightly damp cloth on the non-metallic areas, taking care not to rub the foil finish. Ensure the dress is kept away from rough surfaces or jewelry that could snag the delicate knit or metallic coating.
