FAQs

Is this dress suitable for a taller frame?

This specific model is designed for a petite frame. While it may technically fit, the proportions of the waist and the midi hem length are calibrated for shorter individuals.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

Satin typically has limited stretch. It is designed to fit the body precisely using its cut and the waist-tie adjustment.

Can I wear this to a black-tie event?

Yes, its sophisticated silhouette and satin finish make it an appropriate choice for formal occasions and cocktail events.

What undergarments are best?

Due to the fitted nature of the satin, seamless, nude-toned undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette.

How do I ensure the best fit at the waist?

Utilize the integrated wrap-effect tie to customize the tightness of the waist to your preference.

Is the green colour exactly as shown?

The dress is a rich green with gold-toned accents. Please note that lighting conditions during your event may cause the lustrous satin finish to appear slightly lighter or darker.

Troubleshooting

Fabric has developed static cling.

Lightly mist the inside of the dress with a fabric anti-static spray or run a wire hanger along the inner lining.

Wrinkles are present after storage.

Use a professional garment steamer on the lowest setting, ensuring the steamer head does not touch the satin directly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is made from satin, proper care is essential to preserve the fabric's integrity. Always hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion or creases.

  1. Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the satin, professional dry cleaning is recommended to avoid water stains or fabric damage.
  2. Ironing: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer held at a distance to remove wrinkles, as high-heat contact can scorch or cause permanent marks on satin.
  3. Storage: Keep in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight, which can fade the green hue over time.
  4. Compatibility: This piece coordinates best with metallic-toned jewelry and minimalist footwear to allow the sculptural elements of the dress to remain the focal point.
