FAQs
What kind of shoes should I wear with this dress?
Barely-there strappy heeled sandals are ideal as they allow the dress to remain the focal point of your outfit.
Is this dress suitable for a black-tie event?
Yes, the gown's volume, maxi length, and sophisticated construction make it perfectly suited for formal black-tie occasions.
How should I clean the dress?
Due to the complex frill and tulle layering, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the garment's shape and print quality.
How long is the dress?
The dress is approximately 150cm in length, designed to reach the floor for most wearers.
Does the dress have any stretch?
The ruched midriff is designed for a fitted, defined look, while the skirt provides significant volume through layers of non-stretch tulle.
Can I wear this to a garden party?
Certainly, the floral print is especially well-suited for daytime garden parties, though be mindful of the length on grass.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the tulle
Use a garment steamer from at least 15cm away. Do not press an iron directly onto the tulle.
Static clinging in the skirt
Lightly mist the underside of the lining with an anti-static spray or a diluted mixture of water and fabric softener.
Loose thread from a frill
Carefully trim the thread with small embroidery scissors rather than pulling it, which could unravel the tiered structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your dress, always store it in a cool, dry place inside a breathable garment bag. Because tulle is susceptible to snags, keep the dress away from sharp jewelry or rough surfaces. For care, it is highly recommended to check the specific care label attached to the garment; generally, due to the delicate nature of layered tulle, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to preserve the structure of the frills. If the dress arrives with minor wrinkling from transit, a light steam from a distance can help reset the fabric, but avoid direct contact with a hot iron to prevent melting the synthetic tulle fibers.
