The dress is crafted from stretch scuba crepe, a polyester-based fabric known for its durability and supportive, sculpting properties.
Yes, its maxi length, mermaid hem, and elegant bardot neckline make it specifically designed for formal occasions such as galas and awards ceremonies.
To preserve the pleats and fabric structure, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.
The dress features a fitted bodice, but it does not have integrated bra cups, so we recommend pairing it with your preferred strapless undergarments.
The stretch scuba crepe provides a form-fitting 'second skin' feel, but it is designed with enough elasticity to allow for comfortable movement during events.
Switch to seamless, laser-cut undergarments or adhesive body shapers to maintain the smooth profile of the scuba crepe.
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric, or have it professionally pressed at a dry cleaner.
Use fashion tape along the inner edge of the bardot neckline to secure the dress to the skin.
Because this garment uses a high-stretch scuba crepe material, it is important to handle it with care to maintain its elasticity. To prepare for an event, steam the dress gently at a low temperature to remove any transit wrinkles, being careful not to apply direct heat to the pleated areas. Given the off-the-shoulder design, consider a high-quality silicone strapless bra or adhesive cups for optimal comfort. For long-term maintenance, this dress should be dry cleaned only to prevent damage to the fabric's fibers and the integrity of the pleated detailing. Always store the garment on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
