FAQs

What type of occasion is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for prestigious formal occasions such as black-tie events, galas, formal weddings, and exclusive evening parties where making a refined statement is essential.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the delicate crystal embellishments and woven fabric, professional dry cleaning is the recommended method of care. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a sleek woven fabric, detailed with intricate crystal embellishments.

Does the dress have a fishtail hem?

Yes, the floor-length maxi design features a subtle fishtail shape that creates a dramatic silhouette.

Can I wear this dress for a less formal event?

While stunning, the dress's design and embellishments are specifically intended for formal settings. It is not recommended for casual or semi-formal events.

What accessories complement this dress?

To allow the dress to be the focal point, style it with minimal jewellery, such as delicate drop earrings, a sleek clutch, and strappy heeled sandals.

Are the crystal embellishments durable?

The crystals are meticulously applied, but like all embellishments, they require careful handling. Avoid snagging and professional dry cleaning to maintain their integrity.

Troubleshooting

Crystals appear loose or missing

Contact a professional tailor or the original retailer for repair options. Avoid attempting to reattach crystals yourself, as this may cause further damage.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Gently steam the garment on a low setting, ensuring the steamer does not touch the crystals directly. Alternatively, consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming services.

Dress feels restrictive

Ensure the size is correct. As this is a figure-enhancing fit, consider the specific cut and how it drapes. For minor adjustments, consult a tailor.
