FAQs

What type of occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for special occasions such as evening parties, cocktail events, formal dinners, weddings, and celebratory gatherings where a sophisticated and glamorous look is desired.

How do I clean the glitter velvet material?

It is best to hand wash the dress in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing and drying. Lay flat to air dry and iron on the reverse side at a low temperature if needed.

Will the glitter wash off?

While some minimal glitter shedding can occur with glitter fabrics, proper care (hand washing, gentle handling) will help maintain the integrity of the glitter and prevent excessive loss.

What size should I order?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart for Goddiva. It is recommended to measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the provided measurements for the best fit. For this particular dress, the UK size 18 is available.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, like most garments, this dress can be altered by a professional tailor. However, alterations to the glitter velvet fabric should be handled with care to avoid damaging the material.

What kind of bra is recommended for the off-the-shoulder neckline?

A strapless bra or adhesive bra is recommended to maintain the clean line of the off-the-shoulder design.

What are the available colors and sizes?

This specific product is available in a Wine color and is featured in UK size 18. Other sizes and potentially colors may be available from the brand Goddiva.

Troubleshooting

Glitter shedding from the fabric

This is normal for glitter fabrics. To minimize shedding, follow the hand-wash and air-dry care instructions carefully. Shake the dress gently before wearing.

Dress appears creased after storage

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or iron inside out on the lowest heat setting. Avoid direct heat on the glitter.

Velvet texture feels flattened

Ensure the dress is only ever air-dried flat. If the pile is flattened, a garment steamer held a few inches away can help to lift it.

Neckline does not sit as intended

Adjust the dress on the shoulders. Ensure you are wearing an appropriate undergarment, such as a strapless bra, to allow the neckline to lay correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care Instructions:

  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting and iron inside out to protect the glitter. Alternatively, use a garment steamer on a low setting.
  • Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or creasing. Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and snags.
