This dress is ideal for formal evening occasions such as weddings, galas, proms, graduations, and black-tie events due to its floor-length cut and elegant design.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is made from polyester, which provides a smooth drape and durability.
How should I care for the pleats on the dress?
To maintain the pleats, it is best to dry clean the dress. If hand washing, do so gently and lay flat to dry, reshaping pleats as it dries. Steaming is also recommended for refreshing pleats.
Is this dress suitable for all body types?

Can this dress be altered?
Yes, like most garments, this dress can be altered. Hemming for length adjustments is common for floor-length dresses. It's advisable to consult a professional tailor.

Does the dress come with any accessories?

Troubleshooting
Dress does not hang correctly
Ensure the dress is hung properly on a suitable hanger. Check if any seams or pleats have been disturbed during transit or storage and gently readjust.
Minor creases or wrinkles
Use a garment steamer on a low setting or iron on the reverse side with a cool iron. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before steaming or ironing.
Color transfer onto other garments
Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when damp. If concerned about colorfastness, conduct a spot test in an inconspicuous area.
Neckline feels unstable
Ensure the dress is the correct size and fits snugly at the bust and shoulders. Consider using fashion tape for added security if needed.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: It is recommended to dry clean this dress to preserve the fabric's quality and the integrity of the pleats. If hand washing is attempted, use cold water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing.
