FAQs
What kind of bra should I wear with this dress?
A high-quality strapless or adhesive bra is recommended to ensure the one-shoulder and high-neck design remains sleek and free of visible straps.
Is this dress suitable for all seasons?
The cotton material and open-shoulder design make it particularly well-suited for spring and summer events.
How long is the dress?
The dress is cut to a midi length of approximately 131cm.
Can I wear a necklace with the high-neck choker?
It is generally advised to skip necklaces with this dress, as the integrated choker detail acts as a built-in accessory.
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
As it is made from premium cotton, it is best to follow professional cleaning instructions to prevent any potential issues with fabric integrity.
Troubleshooting
Cape panel looks wrinkled
Use a garment steamer at a safe distance from the fabric to gently release wrinkles without crushing the structure of the cotton.
Dress fit feels tight at the waist
Ensure the side zipper is fully cleared of any internal fabric and check that the garment is properly aligned on the shoulders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Styling: Since the dress features a specific one-shoulder design, use a strapless or convertible adhesive bra to maintain a seamless look under the bodice.
Care Instructions: Given the premium construction and draped elements, handle with care. Refer to the interior garment label for specific washing instructions, though professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the architectural integrity of the cape and high-neck structure.
Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to prevent the draped cape panel from wrinkling or losing its shape in the closet.
