No, due to the delicate pleated construction and intricate knotted detailing, this dress should be dry-cleaned only.
The dress is designed to follow standard sizing. Please refer to the UK size 16 measurement if you are within the standard adult size range, keeping in mind the fitted waist.
Strappy heeled sandals are recommended to lengthen the leg and keep the focus on the architectural details of the skirt.
The finely pleated woven fabric is designed to hold its structure. However, ensure it is hung properly to prevent weight-related stretching on the bodice.
Yes, the floor-length silhouette, tiered volume, and sophisticated detailing make it highly appropriate for black-tie celebrations.
Gently shake the garment while hanging it in a steamy environment (like a bathroom) to allow the weight of the tiers to relax the fabric naturally.
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the fit is otherwise perfect, use double-sided fashion tape between the inner bodice lining and your skin to secure the placement.
To ensure your dress maintains its shape and structural integrity, always store it hanging vertically in a breathable garment bag. Because this garment features complex pleating and a knotted bodice, avoid ironing or high-heat steaming, which can permanently flatten the pleats and distort the sculptural elements. If you encounter minor wrinkling, a gentle handheld steamer at a safe distance is acceptable, but professional dry cleaning is the standard care recommendation to preserve the fabric texture. For undergarments, a high-quality, strapless longline bra or a silicone-based adhesive bra is recommended to provide necessary support without visible straps.
