FAQs

Is this dress suitable for a garden party?

Yes, its sophisticated floral beadwork and maxi length make it an excellent choice for garden parties, weddings, and formal day celebrations.

What shoes should I wear with this dress?

Due to the column-style maxi length, heeled sandals or pointed-toe pumps are recommended to maintain the elongated, graceful silhouette.

Does the ponte fabric have stretch?

Ponte jersey typically provides a slight amount of stretch, which contributes to the comfort and structured fit of this dress.

Can I iron this dress?

Avoid direct ironing on the beaded areas. If ironing the skirt, use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed as a standard UK size 16 fit, but we recommend checking your measurements against a standard sizing chart to ensure the column fit suits your body type.

Troubleshooting

Loose bead or pearl

Carefully gather the loose thread and secure it with a tiny knot on the inside of the garment, or consult a professional tailor for invisible repair.

Fabric wrinkles during transit

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a garment steamer on low heat, keeping the nozzle away from the beaded areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment features intricate beadwork, it is essential to treat it with care. Avoid snagging the beads on jewelry or bags when putting on the dress. Given the delicate nature of the pearl and bead embellishments, it is highly recommended to seek professional dry cleaning rather than machine washing to prevent loss of beads or damage to the floral pattern. For storage, hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and avoid putting stress on the bodice seams.
