FAQs

Is the fabric stretchy?

No, the satin material does not have significant stretch, so it is important to refer to the size guide to ensure a proper regular fit.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the delicate nature of satin, professional dry cleaning is recommended. If hand washing, use cold water and a mild detergent, and lay flat to dry.

Does the dress have a lining?

The dress is designed as a classic slip mini; please check the internal garment tag for specific details regarding layering.

What size is this specific model?

This variant is a UK size 8.

Can I iron this dress?

Direct ironing is not recommended. If necessary, use a steamer or an iron on a very low "silk" setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and the dress.

What is the best way to store the dress?

Store it on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the straps and the integrity of the satin fabric.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled

Use a garment steamer on a low setting. Do not use a high-heat iron directly on the satin as it can scorch the fabric.

Static cling

Lightly mist the inside of the dress with a fabric anti-static spray or run a wire hanger along the inner lining to dissipate the charge.

Minor snag in the weave

Gently pull the surrounding fabric taut and use a needle to carefully guide the pulled thread back through to the reverse side.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a ready-to-wear slip dress, there is no setup required beyond ensuring the correct size—in this case, UK size 8—is selected for your frame. Regarding care, the satin fabric is delicate. It is highly recommended to follow the garment's internal care label explicitly; typically, satin garments should be dry-cleaned or hand-washed in cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid wringing the fabric, as this can distort the weave and ruin the finish. Store the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimples, and keep it away from sharp jewelry or accessories that could catch on the delicate weave of the satin.
