Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of fabric is the dress made from?

The dress is constructed from a woven fabric, which serves as a base for the intricate hand-embellished crystal and sequin detailing.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has a floor-sweeping maxi length, approximately 150cm, with a gently flared hem.

How should I clean this dress?

The dress should be professionally dry-cleaned only. It is crucial to find a cleaner experienced with heavily embellished garments.

Can I alter the dress if it doesn't fit perfectly?

Minor alterations might be possible, but extensive changes are not recommended as they could interfere with the intricate embellishment and cut-out details. Consult a professional tailor for advice.

What accessories are recommended with this dress?

Minimalist accessories are recommended, such as strappy heeled sandals and a sleek clutch, to allow the craftsmanship of the gown to be the focal point.

Is the dress lined?

Yes, the dress features a fully lined construction for a polished finish and comfortable wear.

What occasions is this dress most suitable for?

This dress is ideal for black-tie galas, awards evenings, milestone celebrations, and other highly formal evening events.

Troubleshooting

Sequin or crystal becomes loose

Carefully attempt to re-secure it using a needle and thread that matches the fabric. If unsure, consult a professional seamstress or the retailer for advice.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Use a garment steamer on a low setting from the reverse side of the fabric. Hold the steamer at a distance and do not iron directly on the embellishments.

Dress feels uncomfortable due to ties

Adjust the tie fastenings at the waist. If the fit is still not ideal, consider consulting a tailor for minor adjustments, though extensive alterations may affect the embellishment pattern.

Cons

High level of embellishment may require careful handling and specialized cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This dress requires no setup as it is ready to wear. Its compatibility is with formal and black-tie events.

Care Instructions:

Given the delicate nature of the hand-embellished crystals and sequins, specialized care is essential to maintain the gown's pristine condition.

Dry Clean Only: This is the recommended method for cleaning. Seek out a reputable dry cleaner experienced with heavily embellished garments.
Handle with Care: Avoid snagging the embellishments on rough surfaces. Be mindful when sitting or moving.
Storage: Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and light. Hang on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and prevent creasing.
Avoid Direct Heat: Do not iron directly on the embellishments. If steaming is required, use a steamer on a low setting from the reverse side of the fabric, keeping it at a safe distance.
