FAQs

What type of occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for glamorous events such as cocktail parties, evening galas, festive gatherings, and special occasion dinners where you want to make a statement.

How should I care for the sequin embellishments?

Hand wash the dress in cold water with a mild detergent and lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or machine washing, as this can damage the sequins. Iron on the reverse side at a very low temperature if needed.

What kind of undergarments are recommended?

Due to the deep V-neckline, a plunge bra, adhesive bra, or a strapless bra that can be positioned low is often recommended. Ensure undergarments are seamless for a smooth appearance.

Is the dress stretchy?

The dress is made of polyester and is fully jersey-lined. While the jersey lining provides some flexibility and comfort, the overall fit is designed to be figure-hugging due to the mermaid silhouette.

Can this dress be altered?

Alterations are possible, but care must be taken around the sequin embellishments and the mermaid hem. It is recommended to consult a professional seamstress experienced with delicate fabrics and embellishments.

What is the return policy for this item?

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

Does the dress come in other colors or sizes?

This specific listing is for the Black, Size 16 dress. Other sizes and colors may be available; please check the product listings for the Goddiva brand for variations.

Troubleshooting

Sequins appear loose or damaged.

Gently hand-wash the garment and avoid harsh scrubbing. For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with small scissors. If sequins are significantly detached, consider professional repair or be prepared for potential loss.

Dress feels uncomfortable or restrictive.

Ensure the jersey lining is smoothed out. If the mermaid hem feels too tight, focus on shorter strides and seated movement. The dress is designed for a fitted look, so some restriction is expected.

Fabric retains odor after wearing.

Air out the dress thoroughly after each wear. If needed, hand wash with a mild detergent and cold water, then dry flat. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the sequins.

Sequins are snagging on accessories.

Be mindful of sharp jewelry or rough handbag textures. Store the dress separately from other items to prevent snagging.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand Wash Recommended: Due to the delicate sequin embellishments and polyester fabric, hand washing in cold water is the preferred method.
  • Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
  • Do Not Wring: Avoid twisting or wringing the dress, as this can damage the sequins and fabric.
  • Lay Flat to Dry: After gently squeezing out excess water, lay the dress flat on a clean towel away from direct sunlight or heat to dry.
  • Avoid Dry Cleaning: Unless explicitly stated otherwise by the manufacturer, avoid dry cleaning to prevent potential damage to sequins and fabric treatments.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric only. It is advisable to place a protective cloth between the iron and the dress.
