How do the tie-bow straps work?

The tie-bow shoulder straps are designed to be tied, creating a dramatic and adjustable feature. They trail elegantly down the body.

What makes the petite cut different?

Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit correctly.

Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements. Ensure the correct UK dress size was selected. Consider alterations if minor adjustments are needed.

Fabric appears creased.

Use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. For stubborn creases, professional dry cleaning might be required to restore the fabric's finish.

Tie-bow straps are difficult to tie or stay in place.

Practice tying the bows to achieve a secure knot. Ensure the fabric is not slippery; if it is, a small stitch or fabric tape can help secure the knot discreetly.
