FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
The dress is perfect for special dinners, after-dark occasions, formal events, weddings, and cocktail parties due to its elegant satin material and sophisticated design.
How should I clean the Cowl Neck Satin Maxi Dress?
We recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent or dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's quality and sheen.
What is the length of the maxi dress?
The maxi length is 148cm.
What type of bra is recommended for the backless design?
For the backless design, consider a backless bra, a plunge bra, or adhesive bra options for a seamless look.
Can this dress be worn for casual events?
While the dress is elegant, its satin material and design are best suited for formal or semi-formal evening events rather than casual outings.
Is the dress true to size?
The dress features a regular fit. Refer to the size guide for specific measurements to ensure the best fit. Annalise, who is 5'7.5" and wears a UK size 8/S, is featured as a reference.
How should I store the dress?
Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing. Avoid folding it tightly.
Troubleshooting
Satin fabric looks creased
Gently iron on a cool setting on the reverse side, or hang in a steamy bathroom to allow creases to fall out.
Dress does not drape as expected
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider your undergarments, as they can affect the drape of the fabric.
Color transfer on lighter accessories
Ensure the dress is thoroughly dry after washing before wearing with light-colored items. Initial washes may have some color bleeding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a dress, there is no 'setup' required beyond wearing it. The primary consideration is care to maintain its satin finish and shape.
Care Instructions:
- Material: Satin
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of satin, hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is recommended. Alternatively, dry cleaning is advised to preserve the fabric's integrity and sheen.

- Ironing: Use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct contact with high heat.
Styling Considerations:
