FAQs

What type of jewelry should I wear with this dress?

Minimal jewelry is recommended to let the dress's design take center stage. Consider delicate drop earrings or a simple bracelet.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, the woven construction and floor length can typically be altered by a professional tailor. However, care should be taken around the fringe embellishment.

What shoes complement this maxi dress?

Refined heeled sandals or elegant stilettos work best to maintain the formal silhouette.

How should I store the dress when not in use?

Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and prevent creasing or snagging.

Is the fringe detail durable?

The fringe is designed to add movement and texture. While generally durable, it requires careful handling to prevent tangling or damage.

What occasions is this dress most suitable for?

Troubleshooting

Fringe tangling

Gently detangle the fringe with your fingers. If necessary, use a wide-tooth comb very carefully. Avoid harsh brushing.

Dress loses shape after hanging

Ensure the dress is hung on a sturdy, padded hanger. Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and prevent snagging.

Wrinkles in woven fabric

Use a steamer on a low heat setting or iron on the reverse side with a cool iron and a pressing cloth. Avoid direct high heat.
