FAQs
Does this dress require alterations for petite women?
No, this specific model is cut for a petite frame, meaning it is designed to fit your proportions out of the box.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, due to the delicate nature of the satin material, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.
What type of bra should I wear?
Because of the halterneck and open-back style, a backless, stick-on, or adhesive bra is recommended.
Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?
Satin can wrinkle if packed tightly. It is best to transport the dress in a garment bag and steam it shortly before use.
Is this suitable for a winter wedding?
While the fabric is sophisticated, the open back and sleeveless design may require a coordinating wrap or shrug for colder weather.
Troubleshooting
Wrinkles in the satin fabric
Use a handheld garment steamer at a low setting. Never place an iron directly on the satin surface.
Hem dragging on the ground
Ensure you are wearing the intended heel height for the event. If it still touches the floor, consider a low-profile heel or a temporary fashion tape fix for the event.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, store it on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder creases or stretching of the satin material. When preparing for an event, steam the dress gently at a low temperature to remove any wrinkles sustained during storage; avoid direct contact with a hot iron to prevent scorching the delicate satin fibers. For compatibility, this dress works best with backless or adhesive bras to maintain the integrity of the open-back design. After the event, inspect the hem for any debris and have the garment professionally dry cleaned to preserve the fabric's luster and structure.
