FAQs
Is the dress heavy to wear?
Yes, due to the high-quality glass bead and sequin embellishments, the dress has a substantial weight which provides a premium, structured feel.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, this garment is dry clean only to protect the intricate hand-embellished beadwork and sequins.
What kind of undergarments should I wear?
Due to the deep plunge neckline, we recommend a plunge-style adhesive bra or a low-back bodysuit to maintain a clean silhouette.
How do I store the dress correctly?
Hang it in a breathable garment bag, ensuring it is not crowded by other clothes, to protect the delicate bead patterns.
Is the side split very high?
The side split is designed to be elegant and sophisticated, allowing for movement while maintaining a formal, floor-length appearance.
Does the dress have any stretch?
The dress is crafted from a structured, woven construction designed to hold its shape; it is fitted to the body and does not have significant stretch.
Troubleshooting
A sequin or bead has come loose.
If the item is new, contact customer support; otherwise, consult a professional tailor experienced with couture or beaded garments to secure it properly.
Fabric snagging during wear.
Avoid wearing bracelets or rings that have sharp prongs, as these can catch on the hand-embellished patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in gallery-ready condition, handle it with care when putting it on to avoid catching beads on sharp items or rings. Given the extensive hand-embellishment, this garment is strictly dry clean only. Store the dress hanging in a cool, dry closet, preferably in a garment bag to prevent dust accumulation and to keep the beads from snagging on other clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemical sprays like perfume, as these may alter the finish of the beads or the fabric's luster.
