How do I style the balloon sleeves?

Can I machine wash this dress?

What type of footwear pairs best with this dress?

Strappy heeled sandals, elegant court shoes, or refined block heels complement the maxi length and formal style of the dress.

Are there other sizes available?

Does the embroidery cover the entire dress?

The description indicates that exquisite embroidered cutwork detailing creates an artistic pattern throughout the dress, combined with geometric and floral embroidery. It is a significant design element.

Troubleshooting

Embroidery appears damaged or snagged.

Handle with extreme care. If a thread is loose, do not pull it. Consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner experienced with delicate fabrics and embroidery.

Dress feels too tight or loose in certain areas.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by checking the provided size chart. Minor alterations may be possible by a professional tailor, but caution should be exercised to preserve the embroidery.

Fabric feels slightly rough.

This may be characteristic of the voile weave and embroidery. Try wearing a slip underneath for added comfort.
