FAQs

What is the best way to clean this dress?

Due to the intricate crystal and pearl embellishments, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to maintain the fabric and the details.

Is the fabric stretchy?

Yes, the bandage knit construction is designed to be body-defining and offers significant stretch while retaining its sculpted shape.

What accessories do you recommend?

Given the ornate embellishments, minimal accessories like simple strappy heels and subtle earrings work best to avoid cluttering the aesthetic.

Can this dress be worn to a wedding?

Yes, the midi length and sophisticated design make it an excellent choice for formal or black-tie wedding dress codes.

How should I store the dress?

Store it on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, or folded flat to protect the embellishments.

Troubleshooting

Embellishment snagging on fabric

Avoid wearing fine-knit accessories or jewelry that may catch on the crystal settings; carefully untangle if a snag occurs.

Loss of structure in the knit

Ensure the dress is stored properly on a padded hanger and avoid over-stretching the material when putting it on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because of the delicate embellishments, this garment requires specific maintenance to ensure longevity.

  1. Storage: Always store the dress flat or on a well-padded hanger to prevent the weight of the embellishments from distorting the knit.
  2. Cleaning: Due to the crystal and pearl work, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Avoid machine washing or harsh agitation which may damage the beaded details.
  3. Compatibility: This piece pairs best with neutral-toned heels to allow the white bandage knit and detailing to stand out. Avoid chunky jewelry that might snag the delicate scrolling work on the sleeves.
  4. Maintenance: Check the embellishments periodically after wear to ensure all beads are secure.
