Yes, the bandage knit fabric is designed to be form-fitting with moderate elasticity to contour the body while maintaining its shape.
It is generally not recommended as the crew neckline features elaborate crystal and pearl embellishments that act as a built-in necklace.
The dress is designed as a body-defining, close-knit piece; if you prefer a less compressed fit, consider your standard size, but be aware it is intended to be very fitted.
Professional dry cleaning is the only recommended method to ensure the pearls and crystals remain intact and the polyester knit is not damaged.
No, the bandage knit material is thick and densely woven, providing excellent coverage without the need for additional layering.
Check the reverse side for loose threads and use a fine needle to secure the backing if necessary; avoid pulling on the crystals.
Gently pull the snag back through to the inside of the dress using a crochet hook, or take the garment to a professional tailor for repair.
To maintain the appearance of the embellishments and the tension of the bandage knit, always store this garment lying flat or on a high-quality padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion. Compatibility with undergarments is straightforward due to the opaque and thick nature of the bandage knit, though seamless options are recommended to preserve the smooth silhouette. Regarding care, due to the delicate nature of the crystals and pearls, dry cleaning is strictly recommended over machine washing. Do not use bleach or tumble dry, as high heat can damage both the polyester fibers and the adhesive or stitching used for the embellishments.
