FAQs
Is the dress machine washable?
No, due to the delicate floral lace and trim, this garment should be professionally dry cleaned only.
Does the dress have any stretch?
The dress is designed with a structured, fitted waistband and lace bodice, offering limited stretch; it is recommended to follow the standard UK size guide.
What kind of undergarments should I wear?
Because the dress is fully lined, it is opaque; however, skin-toned, seamless undergarments are recommended for a smooth silhouette.
Can I wear a necklace with this dress?
Yes, the square neckline is perfect for a pendant or a delicate chain, but be careful of clasp designs that could snag the lace.
Is this suitable for a black-tie event?
The elegant lace design and midi length make it appropriate for formal occasions, weddings, and evening soires.
Troubleshooting
Wrinkles in the skirt or bodice
Use a garment steamer on a low, gentle setting, keeping the nozzle at least six inches away from the lace to avoid singeing the fabric.
Snagged lace thread
Do not pull the thread. Gently use a small pair of embroidery scissors to carefully trim the stray fiber flush with the lace surface.
Dress feels too tight around the waist
Since the dress features a structured fit, ensure you are wearing appropriate seamless shapewear that does not add bulk to the waistline.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment features intricate floral lace, it is essential to handle it with care to avoid snagging the fabric on sharp accessories or handbags. Before your event, ensure the dress is steamed on a low setting to remove any wrinkles from storage, keeping the steamer at a safe distance from the lace. Compatibility-wise, the square neckline provides an ideal canvas for delicate jewelry, though statement earrings are often preferred to avoid catching on the shoulder details. For long-term care, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the lace trim and the structure of the hemline. Avoid machine washing or harsh tumble drying, as these will likely damage the delicate lace fibers.
