FAQs
Is this dress suitable for dancing?
Yes, the handkerchief hem is specifically designed to create fluid, graceful movement, making it excellent for occasions that involve walking or dancing.
How should I store this sequin dress?
It is best stored in a breathable garment bag, hanging vertically to keep the sequins flat and protected from external snags.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
No, the halterneck and open-back design make a standard bra unsuitable. We recommend backless or adhesive styles.
How do I clean the sequins?
Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. For minor marks, use a slightly damp cloth to dab the spot gently; do not rub.
Does the dress run true to size?
The dress is designed with seam detailing for a structured, sculpted fit. Consult the size guide to match your measurements, particularly for the bodice area.
Troubleshooting
Sequins catching or snagging
Ensure no sharp jewelry is worn near the fabric. If a snag occurs, do not pull; gently tease the thread back into place.
Visible seams or creases
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a low-heat steamer from a distance, being careful not to apply heat directly to the sequins.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Undergarments: Due to the halterneck and open-back construction, use adhesive bras or backless shapewear to maintain a clean silhouette.
Footwear: Pair with strappy heels to complement the fluid movement of the handkerchief hem.
Storage: Store the dress hanging in a garment bag to prevent sequins from catching on other clothing. Avoid folding to prevent creasing or sequin damage.
Cleaning: Do not machine wash. Professional dry cleaning or gentle spot cleaning is required to preserve the integrity of the sequin embellishments and the lining. If a sequin comes loose, handle it with care and consult a professional tailor for repair.
