FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, galas, formal dinners, and cocktail parties due to its elegant satin material and sophisticated design.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which typically provides measurements for bust, waist, and hips. For this specific dress, Daisy wears a UK size 8/S and is 5'11".
What is the length of the dress?
The midi length is specified as 148cm. Please note that 'midi' in this context refers to a maxi length, reaching close to the floor.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, machine washing is not recommended for satin garments. Professional dry cleaning is the advised method to maintain the fabric's quality.
What type of undergarments should I wear?
Seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain the smooth silhouette of the satin fabric. A strapless bra is often suitable with cowl necklines.
How does the tie-back detail work?
The tie-back detail allows you to adjust the fit around the waist or upper back area, providing a more customized and secure wear.
Does the satin material feel heavy?
Satin can vary in weight. This dress is designed for elegant drape, which usually implies a fluid, not overly heavy, feel. It's suitable for evening wear.
Troubleshooting
Dress arrived creased
Gently steam the garment on a low setting, or hang in a steamy bathroom. For stubborn creases, professional dry cleaning with pressing is recommended.
Satin snagged
Minor snags may be carefully trimmed with small scissors. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner.
Color fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Follow dry cleaning recommendations to maintain color vibrancy.
