FAQs

Is the dress machine washable?

No, due to the intricate hand-applied beadwork and delicate georgette fabric, machine washing is not recommended. Professional dry cleaning is the best method to preserve the dress.

Does the dress have any stretch?

The waist features an elasticated panel for comfort and flexibility, but the main georgette fabric does not have significant stretch.

What length does the dress fall to?

The dress is designed as a mini style and falls approximately 90cm in length from the shoulder.

Can I wear a necklace with the high-neck collar?

The high mock-neck collar is designed to be a statement piece. It is recommended to pair the dress with drop earrings instead of a necklace to avoid crowding the neckline.

How should I store this dress?

Store the dress hanging in a garment bag, ensuring it is not pressed too tightly against other garments to protect the delicate beadwork.

Troubleshooting

A bead has become loose or detached

If a bead detaches, keep it in a secure place. It is recommended to have a professional tailor reattach the bead using the appropriate thread to match the artisanal standard.

Fabric has minor wrinkles

Use a low-heat setting on a garment steamer. Hold the steamer a safe distance from the beadwork to ensure the heat does not damage the embellishments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and elegant design suitable for special occasions
  • High-quality artisanal beadwork adds a luxury feel
  • Elasticated waist provides comfort without sacrificing style
  • Versatile enough to be styled with heels or layered under a blazer
  • Lightweight fabric allows for comfortable all-day wear

Cons

  • Hand-embellished details require delicate care
  • Limited stretch in the non-beaded sections of the garment
  • Mini length may not be suitable for strictly formal dress codes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this dress features hand-applied glass beadwork, care is paramount to maintaining its condition. Avoid rubbing the beaded areas against rough surfaces or abrasive jewelry that could catch on the threading. When storing, ensure the dress is kept in a garment bag to prevent the embellishments from snagging on other items in your closet. Due to the delicate nature of the materials, follow all specific care labels attached to the inner garment; professional dry cleaning is often recommended to preserve the integrity of the beads and the georgette fabric. Avoid using heavy steam directly on the beaded sections to prevent loosening of the hardware.
