FAQs
Is this dress suitable for a black-tie event?
Yes, the floor-sweeping length and elegant cape sleeve design are perfectly appropriate for black-tie dress codes.
Does the dress have any stretch?
The crepe fabric offers a structured look with a slight natural give, but it is primarily designed as a tailored fit.
How should I store this dress?
Store it on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the fabric's finish.
Can I wear a jacket with this dress?
A cropped blazer or a pashmina works best; avoid heavy coats that may crush or distort the cape sleeves.
Is the bodice true to size?
The dress is designed with a fitted bodice; if you are between sizes, it is recommended to consult the size guide or opt for the larger size for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Wrinkles in the crepe fabric
Use a garment steamer at a low setting, keeping a safe distance from the fabric, rather than ironing directly.
Hem dragging on the ground
Consider wearing higher heels or have the dress professionally hemmed to match your specific height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, always check the interior garment label for specific care instructions. Generally, due to the structure of the crepe fabric and the cape construction, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and texture. When storing, use a high-quality padded hanger to maintain the structural integrity of the shoulders and cape. Avoid hanging in direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the blue fabric over time.
