FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed with stretch-infused fabric, generally fitting close to the body. Refer to the standard size guide for accurate measurements.

Can this be washed at home?

No, due to the all-over crystal embellishment, this garment should only be professionally dry cleaned.

What length is this dress?

The dress features a floor-grazing maxi length of approximately 160cm.

What type of bra works best with the cross-back?

An adhesive backless bra or silicone cups are recommended to maintain the clean line of the open-back design.

Will the crystals fall off?

While the crystals are secured for durability, light shedding can occur over time; store carefully to prevent impact damage.

Troubleshooting

Crystal snagged on jewelry

Do not pull the snag. Carefully examine the crystal setting to see if it can be unlooped; if the backing thread is damaged, seek professional tailoring.

Fabric appearing wrinkled after travel

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15 minutes, but keep the steam away from the crystal embellishments to avoid moisture buildup behind the stones.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-impact visual appeal due to extensive crystal detailing
  • Flattering ruched fabric provides a sculpted look
  • Stretch-infused construction ensures comfort for long events
  • Elegant cross-back design offers a sophisticated silhouette

Cons

  • Requires professional dry cleaning due to embellishments
  • The 160cm length may require hemming for shorter individuals
  • Crystals are delicate and prone to snagging if handled roughly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the crystals, avoid spraying perfumes or hairspray directly onto the dress, as chemicals can dull the finish. When storing, keep the garment in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place to prevent the crystal embellishments from snagging on other clothing items. Due to the delicate nature of the cross-back straps and the weight of the crystal beads, always hang the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder distortion. Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the fabric's stretch and the security of the crystal settings.
