FAQs

What material is this dress made from?

The dress features a beautifully embroidered `crochet bodice` and three-quarter sleeves, combined with a luxurious `velvet skirt` and velvet back.

Does this dress have a built-in bra?

Yes, it comes with `built-in bra cups` for effortless support.

What kind of occasions is this dress suitable for?

It's perfect for `special occasions`, `evening events`, and `spring-summer soirees` where an elegant and sophisticated look is desired.

How should I care for this dress?

Due to the mixed delicate materials (crochet and velvet), `dry cleaning is recommended`. If hand washing, use extreme caution with cold water and a mild detergent, and lay flat to dry.

What is the fit of this dress?

The dress has a `bodycon fit`, designed to hug your figure and provide a flattering silhouette.

Are the sleeves full length?

No, the dress features `three-quarter crochet sleeves` with raw hems.

Can I wear a regular bra with this dress?

While it has `built-in bra cups`, you can wear a strapless bra or pasties if you prefer additional support or shaping, or if the built-in cups aren't sufficient for your personal preference.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. The `bodycon fit` is snug by design, but it should not restrict movement significantly. Check if the `built-in bra cups` are correctly positioned. Consider trying a larger size if discomfort persists.

Velvet appears flattened or dull.

Velvet pile can flatten with wear or improper storage. Gently steam the velvet from a distance, or use a velvet brush to carefully lift the pile. Avoid direct heat or ironing on the velvet surface.

Crochet snags or pulls.

Handle the `crochet bodice` and `sleeves` with care. If a minor snag occurs, gently try to push the loose thread back into place with a needle from the inside. Avoid pulling the thread, as this can worsen the damage. Keep away from sharp objects or rough surfaces.

Raw hems on sleeves are fraying.

The `raw hems` are part of the design, but excessive fraying can be a concern. Handle sleeves gently. If fraying becomes problematic, a professional tailor can often reinforce or delicately trim them.

Wearing the Dress: To wear your Scalloped Crochet & Velvet Midi Dress, step into it and gently pull it up over your body. The `bodycon fit` is designed to conform to your shape. The `built-in bra cups` provide immediate support, so you may not need an additional bra, or a strapless bra can be used if preferred for extra shaping. Styling Compatibility: This dress pairs well with minimalist accessories to let its unique design shine. Consider simple stud earrings, a delicate necklace, and classic high heels. For cooler evenings, a chic shawl or a tailored blazer can complement its elegance. Care and Maintenance: Given the delicate `crochet` and luxurious `velvet` materials, careful handling is essential for longevity. - Cleaning: Dry clean only is recommended to preserve the fabric integrity and intricate details. If hand washing is attempted (use with extreme caution), use cold water and a mild detergent specifically for delicate fabrics. Do not wring or twist. - Drying: Lay flat to dry on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight or heat. - Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent stretching or creasing of the velvet. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light which can fade velvet. Handle `raw hems` gently to prevent fraying.
