FAQs
Is this dress suitable for taller women?
This garment is specifically cut for a petite frame. Taller individuals may find the waist placement and overall length do not align with their proportions.
Does the dress have any stretch?
The dress is tailored for a sculpted fit using satin, which generally provides minimal stretch. It is recommended to choose your standard size based on the provided sizing chart.
How should I clean this dress?
Due to the satin material and complex tailoring, this dress should be professionally dry cleaned only.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
Due to the one-shoulder design, a strapless or adhesive bra is recommended to maintain the integrity of the asymmetric neckline.
What is the primary material?
The dress is crafted from high-quality, smooth satin.
Troubleshooting
Fabric has minor creases from storage
Use a garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the satin.
Difficulty with the zipper
Ensure the garment is on a hanger while zipping and check for any internal lining fabric caught in the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the dress is crafted from fine satin, handle it with care to avoid contact with jewelry or rough surfaces that could pull the threads. Before wearing, steam the garment lightly to remove any packing creases—avoid direct contact with a hot iron which can melt or leave shiny marks on the satin. This dress is not machine washable; always opt for professional dry cleaning to preserve the fabric luster and the integrity of the tailored seams. Store on a high-quality padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to prevent dust and accidental snags.
