FAQs

What type of occasion is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for glamorous evening events, such as cocktail parties, formal dinners, weddings, holiday gatherings, and nights out where you want to make a sophisticated statement.

Is the dress true to size?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart for the most accurate fit. Generally, maxi dresses with fitted elements like a mermaid hem can be snug, so consulting the chart is recommended.

How should I care for the sequined fabric?

It is best to hand wash the dress in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and direct ironing on the sequins. Lay flat to dry.

Can I wear a bra with this dress?

The deep V-neckline may accommodate various bra styles. Depending on the desired support and look, you might opt for a plunge bra, adhesive bra, or ensure your bra straps are discreet or complementary to the neckline.

What is the material of the dress?

The dress is primarily made of polyester, embellished with sequins, and fully lined with a comfortable jersey fabric.

Does the mermaid hem affect ease of movement?

The mermaid hem is fitted through the legs and flares out, which can limit the stride. It is designed for elegant movement rather than extensive physical activity.

Is this dress available in other colours?

This particular listing is for the black variant. Other colour options may be available from the brand for different dress styles.

Troubleshooting

Sequin detachment

If a few sequins come loose, they can sometimes be re-attached by carefully sewing them back onto the fabric using a needle and thread matching the sequin colour.

Dress feels itchy or uncomfortable

Ensure the jersey lining is properly covering the skin. If the issue persists, consider wearing a fine slip underneath.

Creasing after storage

Gently steam the dress on a cool setting from the reverse side, or hang in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct ironing on sequins.

Limited mobility due to mermaid hem

Practice walking and sitting in the dress before the event to become accustomed to the fit. Be mindful of the hemline when moving.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

Given the delicate nature of sequins and the polyester material, it is recommended to follow specific care guidelines to maintain the dress's quality and appearance.

  1. Washing: Hand wash only in cold water is typically recommended for sequined garments to prevent damage. Alternatively, a very gentle machine wash on a delicate cycle in a garment bag might be permissible, but hand washing is the safest option.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the dress flat on a clean towel away from direct sunlight or heat to air dry. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
  4. Ironing: Avoid direct ironing on the sequins. If steaming is necessary, use a cool setting and steam from the reverse side of the fabric, or hang the garment in a steamy bathroom.
  5. Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing. Ensure it is stored in a garment bag to protect the sequins from snagging.
