FAQs

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, this garment must be dry cleaned professionally to protect the hand-sewn beading and the structural integrity of the fabric.

Does the dress have a built-in bra?

The dress features an illusion yoke, but it does not have a built-in bra. It is recommended to wear a strapless, skin-toned adhesive bra for the most seamless look.

Is the material stretchy?

The dress is crafted from high-quality polyester which provides a slight amount of give, but it is intended to have a structured, tailored fit.

What kind of shoes go best with this gown?

Strap-style heels or classic pumps work best. Avoid shoes with excessive embellishments or mesh that could snag the dress hem.

How do I ensure the right size fit?

Refer to the brand size guide for UK 14 and measure your bust, waist, and hips. Since it is a mermaid cut, focusing on the hip measurement is vital.

Troubleshooting

Bead has come loose

If a bead comes loose, save it in a small bag and take it to a professional tailor or alteration specialist who handles formal wear to have it reattached securely.

Zipper is sticking

Ensure the gown is properly aligned on your body before zipping. If it still sticks, rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a tiny bit of bar soap along the zipper teeth to lubricate them.

Fabric snagged

Do not pull at the fabric or the bead. Gently manipulate the fabric around the snag to encourage the thread to recede, or take it to a tailor for a professional repair.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated hand-sewn floral beading detail
  • Flattering mermaid skirt provides elegant movement
  • Seamless waist design creates a smooth silhouette

Cons

  • Requires professional cleaning due to delicate beading

  • Beading can be prone to snagging on jewelry or lace

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adrianna Papell gown maintains its luster, always store it hanging in a breathable garment bag to prevent the beading from catching on other fabrics. Because the dress features heavy hand-applied beading, it should be kept away from sharp jewelry, such as prong-set rings, to avoid pulls. Due to the delicate nature of the polyester material and beadwork, spot cleaning is not recommended; always use a reputable professional dry cleaner that specializes in beaded formal wear. Ensure your shoes are chosen after the dress has been fitted to prevent the hem from dragging on the floor.
