Full details

FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed with a structured bodice. It is recommended to consult the size guide for a UK 16 to ensure the fitted bodice meets your measurements.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Due to the delicate floral lace and structural elements, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the garment's quality.

Is the dress see-through?

The dress is fully lined, which prevents transparency while maintaining the semi-sheer aesthetic of the outer lace layer.

What is the approximate length of the dress?

The dress features a midi-length finish at approximately 135cm from the shoulder down.

Are the sleeves tight at the elbow?

The sleeves are designed to be voluminous at the shoulder and gather to taper at the elbow for a structured, tapered fit.

Troubleshooting

Snags in the lace fabric

Gently pull the loose thread to the underside of the fabric using a needle, do not cut the thread as it may cause the lace to unravel.

Wrinkles in the skirt or lining

Use a low-heat garment steamer from a distance. Do not place a hot iron directly onto the lace surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, timeless floral pattern suitable for formal events
  • Fully lined interior provides comfort and confidence
  • Balanced design combines structured tailoring with airy, voluminous elements
  • Midi length offers a versatile silhouette for various heights

Cons

  • Semi-sheer fabric requires delicate handling to prevent snagging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment uses delicate floral lace, proper storage is essential. Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder stretching from the puff sleeves. Avoid hanging it near sharp objects or jewelry that could catch on the intricate lace pattern. Regarding compatibility, this dress pairs best with minimal accessories, as the detailed lace serves as a statement piece. For care, always check the internal garment tag for specific washing instructions. Due to the construction, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to maintain the integrity of the lace and the structure of the bodice and ruffle hem.
