FAQs
Is this dress suitable for a black-tie event?
Yes, its formal silhouette and elegant details make it an ideal choice for black-tie weddings and galas.
How does the sizing typically run?
The dress uses knit crepe with stretch, but it is recommended to follow standard UK dress sizing and consult a size chart for the most accurate fit.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Due to the delicate nature of the charmeuse collar and the formal construction, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.
What type of shoes look best with this gown?
Neutral heels or pumps work best to balance the sharp, tailored look of the tuxedo-style bodice.
Does the dress have a slit?
The design focuses on a mermaid skirt shape and does not feature a traditional leg slit, keeping the silhouette classic and formal.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is catching on the fabric
Ensure the internal fabric flap is laying flat and pull the zipper slider slowly to avoid snagging the knit crepe.
Dress appears wrinkled after travel
Hang the dress in a bathroom during a hot shower to allow steam to relax the fibers, or use a handheld steamer on a low, delicate setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always use a garment bag when transporting it to events to protect the charmeuse collar from snags. Before wearing, consider steaming the dress on a low setting to remove any wrinkles accumulated during storage; avoid direct high heat on the collar. The dress features a standard back zipper, which is best operated by pulling the fabric taut to ensure smooth movement over the teeth. Professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the crepe material and the luster of the satin-style collar.
