Product Information

Its key benefit is the striking geometric crystal embellishment that catches light beautifully, offering an elegant and distinctive look.

FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, races, graduation celebrations, and sophisticated evening parties where a refined and distinctive look is desired.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the delicate crystal embellishments and wool material, the dress requires dry cleaning only. Ensure you use a reputable dry cleaner experienced with embellished garments.

What is the length of the midi skirt?

The midi skirt falls gracefully to approximately 132cm, providing an elegant length suitable for formal occasions.

Can I wear this dress for a daytime event?

Yes, while it is designed for formal occasions, its sophisticated style can be appropriate for daytime formal events like garden weddings or daytime races, especially when styled with complementary accessories.

How should I accessorize this dress?

To allow the dress to take centre stage, pair it with understated accessories. Barely-there strappy heels, a slim clutch, and simple drop earrings are recommended to complete the look without overwhelming the design.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is crafted from a woven construction, with the description specifying a wool material. It is also fully lined for comfort and a polished finish.

Does the embellishment pose any issues for comfort?

The glass beads are arranged in a geometric lattice pattern and are designed to be securely fastened. While generally comfortable, it's always advisable to ensure the garment fits correctly to avoid any pressure points from the embellishment.

Troubleshooting

Beading appears loose or damaged

Inspect the beading carefully. For minor issues, a professional tailor specializing in evening wear may be able to resecure individual beads. For significant damage, consult the retailer for repair options or consider the garment's condition.

Fabric has a crease that won't fall out

Attempt to steam the garment on a low setting, holding the steamer at a distance and avoiding direct contact with embellishments. If creases persist, professional dry cleaning with specialized pressing is recommended.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught. A small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil tip) can sometimes help, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Professional cleaning may resolve this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Dry Clean Only: To preserve the delicate crystal embellishment and the integrity of the wool fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
  • Handle with Care: Avoid snagging the fabric or embellishments on sharp objects.
  • Storage: Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and light. Avoid folding in a way that compresses the embellishments for extended periods.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric only, avoiding direct contact with the embellishments. It is best to consult a professional if significant ironing is required.
