FAQs

What is the best occasion for this dress?

This dress is perfectly suited for weddings, black-tie dinners, or formal graduation ceremonies.

Does the dress have a built-in bra?

No, it does not have a built-in bra. A strapless bra is recommended due to the asymmetric neckline.

How should I clean this dress?

We recommend professional dry cleaning only to preserve the integrity of the compact viscose fabric.

Is the gold-toned hardware removable?

No, the hardware is a structural and design element integrated into the dress.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

The compact viscose is designed to be structured and hold its shape, though it offers a comfortable fit for evening wear.

Troubleshooting

The draped panel looks wrinkled.

Use a professional garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping distance from the hardware to safely remove creases.

The gold hardware feels loose.

Check the clasp mechanism periodically. If it appears damaged, take it to a professional tailor to reinforce the stitching or connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep this garment in peak condition, ensure you follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Hang the dress using high-quality garment hangers that support the shoulders to prevent the fabric from stretching.
  2. Undergarments: Due to the asymmetric neckline, a strapless or adhesive bra is recommended to ensure clean lines.
  3. Cleaning: Given the delicate nature of the draped panel and hardware, professional dry cleaning is the recommended method for maintenance.
  4. Handling: Be mindful of the gold-toned clasp when putting on or taking off the dress to avoid snagging the viscose fabric.
