FAQs

What type of bra should I wear with this dress?

Due to the Bardot neckline, a strapless bra or adhesive bra is recommended to maintain a clean and seamless look.

How should I clean the dress to maintain its shape?

Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying. Lay flat to air dry.

Is the scuba foam material suitable for warm weather?

Scuba foam provides structure but can be less breathable than lighter fabrics. It's best suited for evening or cooler climate events.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, the polyester material can be altered by a professional tailor. However, alterations to the structured neckline or bow detail should be approached with caution.

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for nights out, parties, cocktail events, and other elevated social gatherings where a chic and modern aesthetic is desired.

Does the bow detail on the sleeve lay flat or have volume?

The bow detail is designed to add a chic, fashion-forward touch and typically has a structured yet elegant presence.

What are the washing instructions for the scuba foam material?

It is recommended to hand wash the dress in cold water. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or dry clean. Iron on a low setting if necessary, preferably on the reverse side.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly off the shoulders.

Ensure the dress is the correct size. Adjusting the fit with appropriate undergarments or shapewear may help. Check if the internal structure of the neckline is intact.

Scuba foam material appears creased.

Gently steam the reverse side of the fabric on a low setting or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct high heat ironing.

Bow detail looks misshapen.

Carefully reshape the bow by hand. If necessary, use a low-heat iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth to flatten any creases, then re-shape.

Fabric feels stiff or uncomfortable.

Ensure the dress is not too tight. Scuba foam is inherently structured; allow time for the garment to adapt to body temperature if worn for an extended period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required beyond trying it on and ensuring a comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

  • Undergarments: Due to the Bardot (off-the-shoulder) neckline, strapless bras or adhesive bras are recommended for a seamless look. Consider shapewear if a smoother silhouette is desired.
  • Footwear: The mini length pairs well with various footwear, including high heels, heeled sandals, or sophisticated ankle boots.
  • Accessories: Minimalist jewelry often complements the dress's statement features, such as delicate necklaces or drop earrings. A clutch or small evening bag is ideal.

Care:

  • Material: The dress is made from Polyester and features a scuba foam finish.
  • Washing: Hand wash is recommended to preserve the fabric's structure and detail. Use cold water and a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat on a clean towel or drying rack away from direct sunlight or heat to air dry.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side, or use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric. Steaming is often a safer option for this material.
  • Storage: Hang the dress on a padded or satin hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing.
