FAQs

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is crafted from a high-quality compact stretch polyester blend designed for shape retention.

Is this dress suitable for outdoor summer events?

Yes, the sleeveless design and breathable stretch fabric make it appropriate for formal summer occasions, though the structure is best suited for lower-humidity environments.

How should I clean the dress?

We recommend professional dry cleaning only to maintain the structural integrity of the bodice panels.

Does the fabric provide a lot of stretch?

The compact stretch fabric is designed to hug the body for a streamlined fit while offering enough flexibility for comfortable movement.

What size options are available?

The collection includes sizes ranging from UK 4 to UK 16 to accommodate various silhouettes.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears slightly wrinkled from storage

Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the structured panels, or take it to a professional cleaner.

Difficulty with fit around the bodice

Ensure the garment is correctly centered on the torso; the architectural seams are designed to align with natural body contours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these care instructions:

Cleaning: Due to the structured panels and delicate fabric weave, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the shape.
Storage: Hang the dress on a sturdy, padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion.
Travel: If packing, lay the dress flat in a garment bag to avoid creasing the architectural bodice panels.
Compatibility: This item pairs best with minimal jewelry to allow the dress design to stand out, and is compatible with standard formal footwear such as heels or polished sandals.
