FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, evening events, galas, and sophisticated dinner parties.
How does the bias-cut affect the fit?
The bias cut allows the fabric to drape and flow, contouring closely to the body's natural shape. It provides a flattering fit but can also highlight curves.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress has a maxi length, measuring approximately 148cm from the highest point of the shoulder.
Can this dress be machine washed?
No, due to the delicate satin material, the dress should be dry cleaned only to preserve its quality and appearance.
How should I store the dress?
It is best to store the dress on a padded hanger, preferably in a breathable garment bag, to protect it from creases and damage.
Does the dress run true to size?
The dress is described as a 'regular fit'. It is recommended to consult the brand's size guide and consider the bias-cut nature when selecting your size.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Cowl Neck Satin Maxi Dress is available in other colors, including Blue and Black, in addition to Grey.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side. Professional dry cleaning can also help remove stubborn creases.
Satin fabric snagged
Minor snags may be carefully trimmed with small scissors. For significant damage, professional repair might be necessary, or consider the garment irreparable.
Tie-back is difficult to fasten securely
Ensure the fabric is not twisted. Practice tying the knot to achieve a secure fit. If the tie is too short, it may require adjustment by a tailor.
