FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, evening parties, galas, and other sophisticated gatherings where a refined look is desired.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the WHISTLES sizing guide or compare measurements to the model's height and the dress length (148cm). The model is 5'11" and wears a UK size 8.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, the dress is 'Dry Clean Only' to maintain the quality and finish of the satin fabric.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress has a midi/maxi length of approximately 148cm.
What kind of undergarments should I wear?
Seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette under the satin fabric. A strapless or convertible bra might be suitable depending on the desired back exposure from the tie detail.
How does the tie back feature work?
The tie back allows for an adjustable fit around the waist or upper back area, providing both comfort and a customizable silhouette.
Is the satin fabric stretchy?
The description does not specify stretch, but bias-cut garments often have a slight give due to the fabric's drape. It is best to rely on the stated fit (regular fit) and tie-back for adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Satin fabric has lost its sheen
Ensure the dress is only dry cleaned. Avoid excessive heat or harsh chemicals during cleaning.
Dress is creased after storage
Gently steam the dress on a low heat setting. Avoid direct ironing on the satin surface. If needed, use a pressing cloth and the coolest iron setting.
Visible snag on the fabric
For minor snags, try to gently pull the snagged thread to the underside of the fabric. For more significant snags, professional repair or dry cleaning may be required.
