FAQs
What is the best way to clean this dress?
Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the texture and sheen of the satin fabric.
Does the dress run true to size?
The dress is cut to a standard UK 16, but due to the structured nature of the ruffles, it is advisable to check your measurements against our standard sizing guide.
Is the fabric prone to snagging?
While high-quality satin, it is a delicate material. Take care to avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp jewelry.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
The sleeveless cut features clean shoulder lines; a strapless or adhesive bra is recommended for a seamless look.
What length is the skirt?
This is a midi-length dress, designed to fall below the knee, with an asymmetric hem that adds varying lengths of drape.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to gently relax the wrinkles.
Static cling affecting the drape
Lightly mist the inside of the garment with a specialized anti-static spray or use a gentle fabric softener sheet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, always store it on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimples or fabric distortion. Because of the delicate nature of satin and the architectural ruffle details, avoid sharp accessories that may snag the fabric. For cleaning, follow the care label strictly; generally, professional dry cleaning is recommended for this type of textured satin to maintain its lustre and prevent water staining. If the dress requires steaming, use a low-heat setting and keep the steamer at a distance from the ruffle layers to avoid crushing the texture.
