FAQs

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, due to the intricate hand-applied glass beadwork, machine washing can damage both the beads and the georgette fabric. Professional dry cleaning is the safest method.

Does the waist have a lot of stretch?

Yes, the dress features an elasticated waist panel designed to provide a comfortable, flexible fit while accentuating your figure.

Is the dress opaque?

Yes, the dress is fully lined to provide a polished, opaque finish.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress falls to approximately 90cm in length, generally landing as a mini-length silhouette.

Can I iron this dress?

We advise against direct ironing, especially over the beaded sections. A garment steamer is the preferred method for removing wrinkles.

Troubleshooting

Bead seems loose after wear

Avoid pulling on the loose thread; use a small needle to secure the thread back to the fabric base or take it to a professional tailor to reinforce.

Fabric has become creased

Hang the dress in a bathroom while running a hot shower to allow the steam to relax the fibers, or use a handheld garment steamer from a safe distance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Intricate, artisanal glass bead detailing provides a unique high-end finish
  • Lightweight fabric makes it comfortable for extended wear at events
  • Flattering elasticated waist offers a balance between structure and comfort
  • Fully lined interior ensures the dress hangs well and remains modest
  • Sophisticated mock-neck and bishop sleeve design suitable for formal occasions

Cons

  • Hand-embellishment requires extra care to avoid bead snagging or loss
  • Delicate fabric may be prone to pulls if handled roughly
  • Limited to specific formal event styles due to its high-detail aesthetic

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress remains in pristine condition, avoid wearing jewelry that could snag the delicate glass beads on the yoke and waist. Because the piece is hand-embellished, it is strongly recommended to handle it with clean, dry hands.

Care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Given the delicate nature of the beading, professional dry cleaning is recommended over machine washing to prevent bead detachment or fabric shrinkage.
  2. Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder distortion from the sleeves and keep it inside a garment bag to protect the beadwork from dust and snagging.
  3. Steaming: If the dress arrives with minor creases, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the nozzle a safe distance from the beadwork to prevent heat damage.
