FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing; please refer to the specific size chart provided by the brand to ensure the best fit for your measurements.
Can I wash this dress in a washing machine?
No. Due to the intricate hand-placed beadwork and delicate fringe, this dress must be dry cleaned by a professional.
What type of jewelry should I wear with it?
We recommend minimal jewelry, such as simple stud earrings or a thin bracelet, to allow the intricate tropical beadwork to remain the focal point of your outfit.
Is the fringe removable?
No, the fringe is an integral part of the garment's construction and design and should not be removed.
What kind of shoes pair best with this mini dress?
Strappy heeled sandals are the ideal choice to complement the refined, polished aesthetic of the dress.
How should I store the dress?
Store the dress hanging inside a breathable garment bag to protect the beads and fringe from dust and accidental snagging.
Troubleshooting
Loose or missing beads
Take the garment to a professional tailor or embroidery specialist who can safely secure or replace missing beadwork without damaging the woven base.
Fringe tangling
Gently straighten the fringe strands by hand while the dress is hanging; avoid using a comb or brush which may snag the threads.
Wrinkles in the fabric
Use a handheld steamer on a low setting, keeping it at a safe distance from the beadwork, or allow the garment to hang in a steam-filled bathroom.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this dress features delicate hand-placed beadwork and fringe, it is not suitable for machine washing. To maintain the integrity of the garment, always store it hanging in a garment bag to prevent the fringe from tangling or the beads from catching on other fabrics. If the dress requires cleaning, consult a professional dry cleaner who specializes in embellished or delicate evening wear. When styling, keep accessories understated; simple strappy heeled sandals are recommended to complement the geometric patterns without distracting from the overall aesthetic.
