FAQs

What is the length of the dress?

The dress measures approximately 136cm in length.

Is the dress suitable for machine washing?

It is strongly recommended to dry clean this garment to preserve the structure of the stretch fabric and the ruffle detailing.

Does it come with straps?

No, it features an asymmetric bandeau neckline with a one-shoulder fold, designed to be worn strapless.

What type of shoes look best with this style?

Strappy heeled sandals work best to complement the elegant midi silhouette and the exposed neckline.

Does the fabric have any give?

Yes, the dress is crafted from a compact stretch fabric that allows for a body-skimming fit while maintaining its architectural shape.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing wrinkled or creased

Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to avoid heat damage.

Dress sliding down

Ensure the internal silicone grip tape is clean of body oils; use fashion tape if additional security is required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculptural design creates a flattering, high-fashion silhouette
  • Compact stretch fabric ensures both comfort and form-retention
  • Versatile for multiple formal event types
  • Sophisticated details like the cascading ruffle add visual depth

Cons

  • Requires specific strapless undergarments due to the bandeau neckline
  • Asymmetric cut limits layering options like blazers or jackets
  • Length may require tailoring for those shorter than the intended fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the compact stretch fabric, it is recommended to dry clean the garment. Always check the internal wash care label for specific temperature and chemical instructions. Because the dress features a specific bandeau asymmetric design, ensure you are wearing appropriate strapless support. When storing, use a high-quality padded hanger to ensure the sculptural shoulder fold remains crisp and wrinkle-free between wears. Avoid hanging for long periods in direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
