FAQs
Is this dress suitable for dancing?
Yes, the design is specifically intended for movement; however, be mindful of the weight of the beadwork and ensure you are in a space where the long tassels will not be stepped on.
Does the dress have any stretch?
The hand-beaded construction limits the natural elasticity of the fabric. Ensure you consult the size guide to find your best fit, as the garment is designed to have a structured, tailored feel.
Can I iron this dress?
No. Never apply direct heat or steam to the beaded sections, as this can melt or damage the glass beads and the thread used for attachment.
What undergarments are best?
Due to the scoop neckline and sleeveless design, a seamless, skin-toned strapless bra is recommended to maintain the clean lines of the dress.
How should I store it long-term?
Store in a cool, dry place inside a breathable garment bag. Avoid plastic covers, which can trap moisture and damage the metallic finishes of the beads.
Troubleshooting
Tassels appear tangled after wear
Gently shake the garment to allow the beads to find their natural position. Use your fingers to carefully detangle any overlapping strands; never pull forcefully.
Missing or loose beads
Take the garment to a professional tailor who specializes in formal wear or embroidery repair to secure loose threads before more beads are lost.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the hand-applied embellishments, consider the following care guidelines:
- Storage: Always store the dress flat or on a well-padded hanger to prevent the weight of the beads from stretching the fabric or distorting the tassel fringe.
- Handling: Avoid wearing jewelry with sharp edges or rough textures that may snag the beadwork or pull the tassels.
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of hand-beading, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended. Do not attempt to wash this garment in a machine.
- Transportation: If traveling to an event, carry the dress in a breathable garment bag to avoid tangling the tassels.
