FAQs

Can I wash this dress in a standard washing machine?

It is not recommended. If you must clean it, always use a mesh laundry bag to protect the beads and check the care label for specific instructions.

Is the dress heavy to wear?

Due to the full hand-beaded construction, the dress has some weight, which helps it hang beautifully.

What kind of shoes go best with this dress?

Simple, strappy heels are recommended to complement the intricate details of the dress without competing with the design.

Does the dress have a zipper?

Yes, it is designed for a secure fit with professional tailoring to ensure the silhouette remains sleek.

Can I have the dress shortened?

Due to the hand-beaded tassel construction, altering the length is highly complex and should only be performed by a professional tailor experienced in beaded garments.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The dress is designed for a structured look, so it is recommended to follow the size guide accurately to ensure a comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Beads falling off after wear

Some bead loss is expected due to the intricate construction; check for loose threads periodically and handle the garment gently.

Tassels becoming tangled

Lay the dress flat or hang it carefully after wearing; gently smooth the tassels with your hands to realign them.

Fabric looks wrinkled

Use a cool iron only on the reverse side of the fabric, ensuring you do not touch the beaded areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is heavily beaded, proper care is essential to maintain its integrity over time. When cleaning, avoid harsh treatments and never iron the embellishments directly. If laundering is required, always turn the dress inside out and place it inside a dedicated mesh laundry bag to prevent the tassels from snagging or damaging the beading. If the fabric requires pressing, use a cool iron only on the reverse side of the garment, ensuring the iron does not come into contact with the exterior beads. Store the dress hanging in a garment bag to keep the tassels straight and prevent them from tangling during storage.
