FAQs

What is the best way to clean this dress?

Due to the satin and lace construction, we highly recommend professional dry cleaning to ensure the fabric texture and integrity remain intact.

Does the dress fit true to size?

The bias-cut design is meant to skim the body. If you prefer a looser fit, some customers find sizing up beneficial, though the dress is designed to follow your natural silhouette.

Can I iron the dress?

Direct heat from an iron can damage satin. Use a steamer instead, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the fabric.

What should I wear underneath?

Due to the bias cut and satin finish, seamless, nude-colored undergarments are recommended to prevent visible lines.

How should I store the dress?

Store in a breathable garment bag on a padded hanger to support the delicate spaghetti straps and prevent the fabric from gathering dust or catching on other items.

Troubleshooting

Creasing or wrinkles in the fabric

Use a handheld steamer on a low-heat setting at a safe distance from the satin to gently release wrinkles.

Snag in the satin fabric

Do not attempt to pull or cut the thread; take the garment to a professional tailor to have the snag carefully worked back into the weave.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, timeless aesthetic suitable for formal events
  • Flattering bias-cut silhouette that moves gracefully
  • High-quality satin fabric with a luxurious sheen
  • Sophisticated lace detailing for added texture

Cons

  • Satin fabric is delicate and prone to snagging
  • Spaghetti straps require careful handling
  • Bias-cut garments can be less forgiving regarding fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because of the delicate satin construction, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the precision of the lace inserts. Avoid storing the dress on wire hangers, which can stretch the thin spaghetti straps; instead, use padded hangers or store flat in a breathable garment bag. When dressing, be mindful of jewelry—specifically rings or bracelets with prongs—as they can easily snag the satin material. Always steam the dress gently at a low temperature to remove shipping creases rather than using a high-heat iron.
