FAQs
What type of bra should I wear with this dress?
Since the back is bare, a backless, stick-on adhesive bra is the best choice to ensure a smooth, invisible fit.
Is this dress suitable for a formal wedding?
Yes, the midi length and artisanal cutwork provide a polished and sophisticated look that is well-suited for formal wedding guest attire.
How do I maintain the shape of the dress?
Always hang the dress properly when not in use and avoid folding it, as this can crush the structured fabric.
Can I machine wash this garment?
Due to the intricate cutwork, we recommend dry cleaning only to prevent the motifs from fraying or losing their structure.
What jewelry should I pair with this look?
Because the dress has busy detailing, keep jewelry minimal with delicate drop earrings or a slim bracelet to avoid competing with the cutwork.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer at a low setting, moving carefully around the cutwork motifs.
Stray threads appearing near cutwork
Use sharp, small fabric scissors to carefully trim any loose threads; never pull at them as this can damage the scrolling pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, consider the following care guidelines:
- Undergarments: Due to the open back and halter neck, opt for adhesive bras or backless strapless solutions to maintain the intended aesthetic.
- Cleaning: Given the delicate nature of the cutwork, professional dry cleaning is recommended to protect the intricate motifs and scalloped hem.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a sturdy, padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion, and avoid storing in direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the green color.
- Ironing: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer from a slight distance to remove wrinkles, taking care not to snag the cutwork edges.
