FAQs

What is the best way to clean this dress?

This garment must be professionally dry cleaned due to the delicate, hand-placed beadwork and fringe elements.

What size should I choose?

The dress comes in standard UK women's sizes. Consult the brand's official sizing chart, focusing on your measurements for the chest and waist for the best fit.

Can I wear a necklace with this dress?

Due to the high mock neck and intricate beadwork, we recommend skipping a necklace and opting for simple, elegant earrings to avoid cluttering the neckline.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The dress uses a structured woven construction, meaning it does not have the stretch of jersey or knit fabrics. Ensure the size chosen aligns closely with your measurements.

Is this suitable for outdoor events?

It is suitable for outdoor formal events, but be mindful of the environment to avoid catching the fringe or beads on furniture or natural elements.

Does the dress come with extra beads?

It is standard practice for heavily embellished garments to include a small sachet of replacement beads; check all packaging thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

Bead or thread snagged on jewelry

Do not pull the snag. Carefully maneuver the snagged thread or bead back through the fabric loop using a pair of fine tweezers.

Fringe appears tangled after storage

Gently shake the garment while hanging to allow gravity to straighten the strands. Use a soft-bristled garment brush if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is a structured piece intended to be worn as-is; it requires no assembly. Due to the complex beadwork and fringe, it is strictly recommended that this item be professionally dry cleaned to avoid snagging or bead loss. When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to support the weight of the embellishments and prevent the fabric from stretching or the fringe from tangling. Avoid contact with rough surfaces to protect the intricate geometric quilted base.
