What is the fabric of the dress?

The dress is made from flowing crinkle georgette fabric, which offers graceful movement and a textured finish.

Can this dress be machine washed?

No, due to the delicate crinkle georgette fabric, it is recommended to dry clean only.

Does the cold shoulder detail provide full arm coverage?

The dress features dramatic long sleeves that balance the cold shoulder cutouts, offering significant sleeve coverage while still showcasing the shoulder detail.

What is the length of the dress?

Is this dress suitable for a professional event?

Troubleshooting

Dress has excessive creases

Gently steam the dress on a cool setting, or have it professionally dry cleaned and pressed.

Fabric loses its crinkle texture

This is often irreversible. Ensure you follow the recommended dry clean only care instructions to maintain the fabric's intended appearance.

Sizing feels off

Consult the brand's specific size guide for accurate measurements. Consider the garment's cut and material; polyester can have slight variations. If a UK size 12 is typically a perfect fit, this dress may run true to size or slightly differently based on its design.

Care Instructions:

  • Material: 100% Polyester
  • Washing: Due to the delicate nature of the crinkle georgette fabric, it is recommended to dry clean only to maintain the fabric's texture and the dress's shape.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid high heat to prevent damage to the georgette. A garment steamer can also be used to gently remove creases.
