FAQs

What type of bra is best for the plunge neckline?

A plunge bra or a low-back adhesive bra is recommended to remain seamless and supportive with the deep V-neckline.

How do I ensure the crystals don't fall off?

Handle the dress with care, especially during wear and cleaning. Hand washing and laying flat to dry are the best methods to preserve the embellishments.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, a skilled tailor can alter the dress. However, caution should be taken around the crystal embellishments during any alteration process.

What occasions is this dress most suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, black-tie galas, award ceremonies, and sophisticated evening parties.

Does the jersey fabric cling?

The jersey fabric is designed to be figure-defining, meaning it will skim the body. Wearing appropriate undergarments can help ensure a smooth silhouette.

What is the return policy for this item?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on returns and exchanges, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Crystals appear loose or detached

Carefully re-secure any loose crystals by hand or with a needle and thread. For significant detachment, consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner.

Jersey fabric shows wrinkles

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a garment steamer on a low setting. Iron on the reverse side at a low temperature if necessary.

Dress feels restrictive

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The jersey fabric has stretch, but a size too small can feel restrictive. If the fit is correct, try gentle stretching exercises while wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a finished garment, this dress requires no setup. Its compatibility is primarily with formal wear accessories. Care instructions are crucial to maintain the garment's appearance:

  • Care: Given the crystal embellishments, hand washing in cold water is recommended. Alternatively, a gentle dry clean is advised.
  • Drying: Lay flat on a clean towel to air dry. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric, being careful not to press directly on the embellishments.
  • Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing. Ensure it is stored in a garment bag to protect the crystals from dust and snagging.
