Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the dress stretchy?

The dress is designed with a structured, tailored fit to maintain its silhouette; it is not made of highly elastic material.

What type of bra should I wear?

Given the open-back and halterneck design, a stick-on adhesive bra or a low-back converter is typically the best option.

How should I store this dress?

Store hanging in a breathable garment bag, ensuring there is enough room in your closet to avoid crushing the sequin embellishments.

Can I iron this dress?

No. Heat can damage the sequins and the delicate lining. If the lining is wrinkled, use a low-heat garment steamer from a distance, taking care not to touch the sequins.

Is the length suitable for someone of average height?

The dress is a maxi length designed for elegant floor-coverage. Depending on your height and chosen footwear, it should fall gracefully around the ankles.

What is the best way to clean this garment?

Due to the intricate sequin embellishments, this dress requires professional dry cleaning only.

Troubleshooting

A loose sequin thread

Do not pull the thread. Use a tiny, sharp pair of embroidery scissors to carefully trim the excess thread close to the fabric.

The dress feels slightly snug after movement

Ensure the bodice seams are properly aligned with your torso; the structured nature of the dress relies on correct alignment for full range of motion.

Dull appearance of sequins

Ensure the garment is stored inside a garment bag in a dry, cool area away from direct sunlight to prevent oxidation or dust accumulation.

  • Sculpted tailoring provides a flattering and structured fit
  • Handkerchief hem adds unique elegance and movement
  • Fully lined for improved comfort and opacity
  • Exposed back design allows for versatile accessory styling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When preparing to wear the dress, ensure you have appropriate undergarments that complement the halterneck and open-back construction. Due to the weight and texture of the sequins, it is recommended to put the dress on after applying makeup and perfume to prevent residue from dulling the shine. Regarding care, the garment is not designed for machine washing. To maintain the quality of the sequins and the internal lining, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended. When storing the piece, use a padded hanger to preserve the shape of the shoulders and avoid crushing the delicate hem layers. Keep away from rough surfaces or jewelry that might snag the sequin backing.
