FAQs

What type of bra should I wear with this dress?

Due to the sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps, a strapless bra or a bra with very fine straps that can be hidden is recommended.

Can this dress be altered?

Minor alterations may be possible by a professional seamstress. However, altering the corset-style bodice or applique placement can be complex and may affect the dress's structure.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide for accurate measurements. The corset detail offers some flexibility, but accurate sizing is key for the intended fit.

Is this dress suitable for a formal wedding?

Yes, this dress is an excellent choice for formal weddings, garden parties, and other sophisticated events due to its elegant design and detailed applique.

What accessories pair well with this dress?

Minimalist jewellery, strappy heels, and a clutch bag complement the dress. Let the intricate floral applique be the focal point of your outfit.

How should I care for the floral applique?

The floral applique should be protected from snagging. Avoid direct contact with harsh surfaces and follow dry clean only instructions strictly.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage

Refer to care instructions; attempt steaming on a low setting from the reverse side or consult a professional dry cleaner for pressing.

Applique detail seems loose

Carefully hand-stitch any loose threads with a matching fine thread. If significant damage occurs, seek professional tailoring advice.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

Ensure the dry cleaner used appropriate methods for delicate fabrics. Gentle steaming may help restore softness, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
