FAQs
What type of fabric is this dress made from?
The dress is made from 100% Polyester crinkle georgette fabric, known for its texture and movement.
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal events such as summer weddings, garden parties, and formal evening receptions.
How should I care for the crinkle georgette fabric?
It is best to hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry or steam. Avoid machine washing and high heat to maintain the fabric's texture.
What is the fit like, considering the waistband?
The dress features a defined waistband with contrasting piping designed to create a flattering hourglass silhouette.
Can I wear this dress in cooler weather?
Yes, for cooler evenings, you can drape a lightweight pashmina or a tailored jacket over the shoulders.
How should I accessorize this dress?
Due to its statement design, it pairs best with delicate strappy heels and refined jewelry. Minimal accessorizing is recommended to let the dress stand out.
What does 'ombre floral print' mean?
Ombre refers to a gradual shading effect, so the floral print intensifies or changes its shade from the bodice down to the hem of the dress.
Troubleshooting
Dress loses its crinkle texture after washing.
Avoid harsh washing and high heat. Gentle hand washing in cold water and air drying or professional steaming are recommended to preserve the crinkle effect.
Color fading.
Wash the garment inside out in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Stains on the fabric.
Address stains immediately with a gentle spot cleaner suitable for polyester, or consult a professional dry cleaner.
Wrinkles that are hard to remove.
