FAQs
What is the material of the Oasis Ruffle Square Neck Midi Dress?
The dress is made from Polyester, which is designed to provide a luxurious, soft, and elegant satin-like feel and drape.
How should I clean this dress to maintain its quality?
For best results, hand wash gently in cold water using a mild detergent, or take it to a professional dry cleaner. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying to protect the delicate fabric.
Is this dress suitable for occasions other than weddings?
Yes, while designed for bridesmaids, its elegant style, sophisticated silhouette, and luxurious finish make it suitable for other formal events such as galas, cocktail parties, or special evening engagements.
How do I ensure the best fit with the open back and tie closure?
The tie closure is adjustable. Cinch it gently to define your waist and ensure a secure fit that is comfortable. Experiment with different knot or bow styles to find your preferred look and tension.
What kind of accessories should I pair with this dress?
We recommend pairing it with strappy heels or elegant dress sandals and delicate jewellery like a fine necklace, stud earrings, or a delicate bracelet to complement its sophisticated design.
Does the dress wrinkle easily, and how can I prevent it?
Like many elegant fabrics, the satin-effect polyester can wrinkle. Store it carefully on a padded hanger. For touch-ups, use a garment steamer or iron on a very low setting with a pressing cloth.
Is the 'Blue' colour a specific shade?
The dress is part of the 'Blue' colour family. While specific shades can vary slightly between batches or monitor displays, it is selected to be a versatile blue that complements various wedding colour palettes.
Troubleshooting
Dress arrives wrinkled or creases easily.
Gently steam the dress using a garment steamer or iron on the lowest setting with a pressing cloth on the reverse side of the fabric. Store on a padded hanger to minimize new creases.
The back tie feels too loose or too tight.
Untie and re-adjust the back closure. Pull the ties gently to achieve a snug but comfortable fit that accentuates your waist without feeling restrictive.
Difficulty finding appropriate undergarments for the open back.
Consider using adhesive bras, backless bras, or silicone nipple covers. These options provide support and discretion without interfering with the open-back design.
Fabric appears to snag easily.
The satin-effect polyester is delicate. Handle with care, avoiding contact with sharp objects, rough surfaces, or abrasive accessories like sequined bags or jewellery that could snag the material.
The dress doesn't drape as expected.
Ensure the dress is the correct size. A fit that is too tight or too loose can affect how the fabric drapes. Also, check for any static cling and consider using an anti-static spray if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
How to Wear
- Step In: Gently step into the dress and pull it up over your body.
- Adjust Neckline: Position the square neckline comfortably, ensuring the ruffles lie flat.
- Tie the Back: Bring the back ties together and secure them in a bow or knot. Adjust the tension for a comfortable, secure, and flattering fit.
- Smooth Fabric: Gently smooth down the fabric to ensure it drapes elegantly and the figure-hugging fit is even.
Compatibility (Styling Suggestions)
- Footwear: Best paired with strappy heels, block heels, or elegant dress sandals.
- Jewellery: Opt for delicate necklaces, drop earrings, or a subtle bracelet to enhance the elegant design without clashing with the ruffle neckline or open back.
- Undergarments: Due to the open back, consider adhesive bras, backless bras, or nipple covers for seamless support and appearance.
Care & Maintenance
This dress is made from Polyester, designed to mimic the luxurious feel of satin. Proper care will maintain its elegance and extend its lifespan:
- Cleaning: Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, or opt for professional dry cleaning. Avoid machine washing to prevent damage to the delicate fabric structure and sheen.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry on a clean, dry surface, or hang on a padded hanger. Avoid direct sunlight and tumble drying, as high heat can damage polyester and cause wrinkling or loss of shape.
- Ironing/Steaming: If wrinkled, use a garment steamer for best results. If ironing, use a cool iron (lowest setting) on the reverse side of the fabric with a pressing cloth to protect the satin finish. Avoid direct high heat.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and maintain its shape. Avoid overcrowding your closet to allow the fabric to breathe.
