FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is perfect for formal events such as weddings, gala dinners, milestone celebrations, and sophisticated evening parties where making a statement is desired.

How do I care for the tassel fringe?

The tassel fringe requires delicate care. Professional dry cleaning is recommended. Avoid machine washing or vigorous cleaning. Gently detangle any snags with your fingers.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from a stretch-infused knit fabric with bandage-knit construction.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has a midi-to-maxi length of approximately 95.5 cm.

How should I accessorize this dress?

Keep accessories minimal to allow the dress to be the focal point. Strappy heels and a sleek clutch are recommended. You can choose one focal point for jewelry, such as statement earrings or a simple pendant necklace.

Does the dress have much stretch?

Yes, the stretch-infused knit fabric ensures a close, body-conscious fit that moves with ease.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, due to the delicate bandage-knit construction and tassel fringe, machine washing is not recommended. Professional dry cleaning is advised.

Troubleshooting

Tassel fringe appears tangled or out of place.

Gently use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to carefully detangle individual strands. Avoid harsh brushing. If severely tangled, professional dry cleaning may be required.

Dress feels too tight or restrictive.

The bandage-knit is designed for a close fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If it feels restrictive, allow it to relax naturally or consult with a tailor for minor alterations if possible, though the knit's stretch can accommodate slight variations.

Visible seam detailing is noticeable.

The seam detailing is an intentional design feature for sculpting. It is intended to be visible and part of the garment's tailored aesthetic. Ensure it lays flat against the skin for the intended effect.

Fringe gets caught on objects.

Be mindful of your surroundings when wearing the dress. Avoid sitting on surfaces that could snag the fringe, and be cautious around furniture or doorways. Consider wearing the dress for seated portions of events initially to assess movement.

Compatibility: Designed for adult female wearers. The UK size 16 ensures a specific fit; please refer to size charts if considering other available sizes.

Care Instructions: Given the intricate bandage-knit construction and tassel fringe, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the fabric's integrity and the detailing.
