Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, this dress is made from delicate beaded lace and must be professionally dry cleaned to protect the embellishments.

Is the dress sheer?

The lace is sheer, but the dress is fully lined to provide complete coverage throughout the torso.

What type of shoes look best with this length?

The 140cm midi length pairs perfectly with strappy heeled sandals or block-heeled mules.

Do I need to wear a necklace with the high neck?

No, the high mock neck and dense beading are designed to be the focal point, making additional neckwear unnecessary.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The lace construction is designed for a body-skimming fit; it does not feature significant stretch, so ensure the UK size 14 aligns with your measurements.

What is the best way to store this dress?

Store it in a breathable garment bag, hanging it upright to maintain the shape of the fishtail hem and prevent bead damage.

Troubleshooting

Bead snagging on accessories

Avoid wearing jewelry with rough edges or prongs that could catch on the delicate lace embroidery.

Wrinkling during storage

Steam the garment lightly from the inside or use a professional steamer at a safe distance; never apply a hot iron directly to the beading.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Intricate botanical lace offers high-end visual interest
  • Fishtail hem provides movement and a flattering, dramatic profile
  • High mock neck eliminates the need for complex neckwear
  • Fully lined interior ensures confidence and comfort
  • Versatile for various formal occasions from galas to winter weddings

Cons

  • Beaded construction requires professional care
  • Limited stretch due to the structured lace design
  • Not suitable for machine washing or heavy-duty use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the intricate beading and cotton-based lace, proper care is essential. Always hang the dress using garment hangers that provide shoulder support to prevent the weight of the beads from distorting the fabric. Because of the delicate nature of the embellishments, it is recommended to store this garment in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight.

Compatibility-wise, this UK size 14 piece fits a structured silhouette. Due to the high mock neck, you should avoid bulky necklaces. We recommend professional dry cleaning only to maintain the sheen and arrangement of the beadwork. Avoid rough surfaces that could catch the delicate lace threads.
