The dress is designed with a fitted silhouette. It is recommended to consult the size guide for a UK 16 to ensure a comfortable fit around the bodice and waist.
The cape is designed for elegance; when sitting, simply sweep the fabric to one side to prevent it from bunching or becoming pinned under you.
A strapless, supportive bra or adhesive cups are ideal to maintain the clean lines of the asymmetric neckline without visible straps.
No, given the structured construction and lining, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to prevent shrinking or damage to the fabric.
The compact viscose is substantial enough to hold its shape well, but it is not excessively heavy, allowing for comfortable wear throughout an evening event.
Use a garment steamer on a low, gentle setting, keeping the nozzle a safe distance from the fabric to smooth out creases.
Be mindful of delicate jewelry, such as lace or mesh fabrics, when wearing the dress to prevent potential damage to the gold-tone trim.
To ensure your dress looks its best, store it on a high-quality, padded hanger to prevent the shoulder embellishment from snagging or deforming. Since the dress is made of compact viscose, check the garment care label inside the dress for specific cleaning instructions; generally, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the structural seams and the delicate lining. When dressing, step into the garment rather than pulling it over your head if possible, to avoid putting stress on the cape attachment point.
