FAQs

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length, measuring approximately 117cm.

Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?

As this is a bandeau style, it is best paired with a strapless bra or adhesive silicone cups to maintain the clean line of the neckline.

Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?

The stretch-infused, structured knit fabric is designed to resist wrinkling, making it an excellent choice for travel and long events.

How should I store the dress?

Store it hanging in a cool, dry place inside a garment bag, ensuring the feather trims are not compressed by other clothing.

What kind of accessories work best?

Understated jewellery, such as a delicate bracelet or simple drop earrings, works best so as not to compete with the bold feather details.

Troubleshooting

Feathers look flattened after storage

Gently shake the dress to fluff the feathers or use a low-heat steamer from a distance to restore volume.

Dress sliding down

Ensure the fit is tight enough to hold the structure; consider using fashion tape inside the bandeau for extra security.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculpted bandage fit provides a flattering, secure feeling
  • Eye-catching feather detailing creates a unique, high-fashion aesthetic
  • Stretch fabric ensures comfort despite the close, form-fitting design
  • Versatile midi length suitable for a variety of formal events

Cons

  • Feather trim requires gentle care and avoids crushing
  • Strapless design may require regular adjustments during wear
  • Dry cleaning is generally recommended to preserve the integrity of the knit and feathers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To style this piece, focus on balance. Opt for strappy, minimal heeled sandals to prevent cluttering the look, as these allow the feather detailing to remain the centerpiece. A sleek updo is highly recommended to complement the bandeau neckline and highlight the shoulder area.

Care instructions are vital for this garment:

  • Handling: Always handle the feather trims with care to prevent shedding or breakage.
  • Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the feather embellishments and the structure of the bandage knit, professional dry cleaning is recommended to avoid damaging the garment.
  • Storage: Store the dress hanging in a garment bag, ensuring the feathers have space so they do not become flattened or misshapen between wears.
