FAQs

What is the length of this dress?

The dress measures approximately 139cm from the shoulder to the hem.

Is the fabric stretchy?

No, the dress is made from structured woven taffeta, which is designed to hold its shape rather than stretch.

Can this be machine washed?

We recommend professional dry cleaning only to protect the structural integrity and the finish of the taffeta fabric.

Does the dress have a lining?

Yes, it is fully lined to provide a polished finish and added comfort against the skin.

What events is this dress suitable for?

The architectural silhouette makes it perfect for weddings, summer garden parties, graduations, and formal events like race days.

Troubleshooting

Visible creasing on the taffeta

Use a garment steamer at a low setting. Keep the nozzle a few inches away from the fabric and move in smooth, steady motions.

Skirt volume appears flat

Shake the skirt gently after unpacking to allow the folds to reset. Ensure it is stored hanging freely rather than folded in a drawer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking, high-impact architectural silhouette
  • High-quality lustrous finish that catches the light
  • Fully lined for comfort and structure
  • Versatile for various formal events

Cons

  • Taffeta fabric can be prone to creasing if not stored properly
  • Voluminous skirt requires more space for travel and storage
  • Non-stretch fabric may require precise sizing for the perfect fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your dress, keep the following in mind:

  1. Storage: Hang the dress using sturdy, padded hangers to preserve the shape of the shoulder straps and prevent the skirt from crushing.
  2. Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the structured taffeta, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the fabric's luster and structural integrity.
  3. Steaming: If the fabric develops creases, use a low-heat steamer from a distance. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron, which could damage the finish.
  4. Travel: If you are traveling to an event, carry the dress in a garment bag. Once you arrive, hang it immediately to allow the fabric to settle and any minor wrinkles to drop out.
