FAQs
What kind of bra should I wear with this dress?
A strapless or adhesive stick-on bra is recommended to maintain the clean lines of the one-shoulder design.
Is this dress suitable for outdoor weddings?
Yes, the satin fabric and elegant silhouette are ideal for formal outdoor events, though be mindful of the floor-grazing hem on uneven surfaces.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, this garment is made of delicate satin and should be professionally dry cleaned to avoid damage.
How long is the dress?
The dress is a maxi length, falling to approximately 140cm.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
The dress is designed to be subtly fitted through the body, providing a structured silhouette rather than a stretch-heavy fit.
What is the best way to store the dress?
Store the dress on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric color and quality.
Troubleshooting
Fabric has minor wrinkles from storage
Use a professional garment steamer on a low, gentle setting, keeping the nozzle a safe distance from the satin to avoid water spots.
Shoulder strap feels loose
Ensure the knot detail is correctly positioned at the peak of the shoulder; if it continues to slip, a small piece of fashion tape can secure the fabric against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, consider that this dress follows standard UK sizing; be mindful of the one-shoulder cut when selecting your undergarments, as a strapless or adhesive bra is recommended for a seamless finish. Given the delicate satin construction, always store the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder misshaping. Avoid contact with sharp jewelry or rough surfaces that could cause pulls in the fabric. Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the lustre and integrity of the satin material, as home washing may dull the finish or affect the structural knot detail.
