FAQs

What type of occasion is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for prestigious formal occasions such as black-tie events, galas, evening weddings, and other sophisticated evening functions where a refined and glamorous statement is desired.

How should I accessorize this dress?

To let the dress take centre stage, opt for minimal jewellery like delicate drop earrings. A sleek clutch and strappy heeled sandals are recommended. Consider a polished updo to highlight the neckline and shoulder details.

What is the material of the dress?

The dress is made from a sleek woven fabric, specifically noted as wool in the material attributes, designed to contour beautifully to the figure.

Does the dress have any stretch?

While the woven fabric is designed to contour, specific stretch properties are not detailed. It is constructed for a flattering, figure-enhancing fit, suggesting a structured rather than overly stretchy feel.

How do I clean the dress?

Due to the intricate crystal embellishments and fabric type, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended to maintain the garment's integrity and sparkle.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a floor-length maxi design, featuring a subtle fishtail shape that creates a dramatic silhouette.

Are there other sizes available?

Yes, this dress is available in other sizes. Please refer to the product listing for available sizing options.

Troubleshooting

Crystals appear loose or detached.

Carefully inspect the garment. Minor loose threads around embellishments can sometimes be trimmed. For detached crystals, professional repair is recommended to ensure proper reattachment without damaging the fabric.

Dress is creased after storage.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period to allow wrinkles to fall out naturally. If creases persist, use a very low heat setting on an iron on the reverse side of the fabric, with a protective cloth.

Fabric feels stiff or rough.

This is likely due to the woven nature of the fabric designed for structure. Ensure proper care during cleaning and storage to maintain the fabric's integrity. If stiffness is due to soiling, professional dry cleaning is advised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Due to the delicate crystal embellishments and woven fabric, dry clean only is recommended. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  • Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect the crystals and prevent creasing. Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture.
