FAQs
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, the Onara Dress is made of delicate silk and should only be cleaned via professional dry cleaning services.
How do I secure the waist tie?
The tie is integrated into the wrap-style structure; pass it through the provided loop and fasten it at your preferred level of tightness.
Is the fabric prone to losing its shape?
As a bias-cut garment, it is designed to mold to the body. To prevent permanent stretching, always hang the dress correctly and avoid storing it on thin wire hangers.
What undergarments are recommended?
Seamless, nude-colored undergarments are recommended to maintain the sleek silhouette and ensure no lines are visible under the silk.
Does the dress fit true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing. Because of the stretch silk, it provides some flexibility, but we recommend referring to your standard dress size.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the fabric
Use a professional garment steamer on the lowest heat setting, keeping the nozzle at least six inches away from the silk.
Fabric snagged by jewelry
Do not pull at the thread. Carefully lay the fabric flat and use a soft needle to gently coax the pulled thread back through to the reverse side.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is intended for adult women and is available in various UK sizing options. Given the nature of the silk material, proper care is essential to maintain the structural integrity of the bias cut.
- Storage: Always hang the dress using padded hangers to prevent shoulder dimples or fabric distortion.
- Cleaning: This garment must be professionally dry cleaned. Avoid water-based spot cleaning as it may leave marks on the silk.
- Steaming: If the dress becomes wrinkled, use a low-heat garment steamer from a distance. Never apply a hot iron directly to the fabric.
- Handling: Be mindful of jewelry, zippers, or rough surfaces that may cause pulls in the silk fiber.
