FAQs

What type of event is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal summertime events such as weddings, garden parties, evening celebrations, or any occasion where an elegant and eye-catching outfit is desired.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart and take accurate body measurements (bust, waist, hips). Compare these measurements to the chart to find the best fit for the UK Size 6.

Can the back opening be adjusted?

The dress features tie and zip-back fastenings which allow for some adjustment to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. However, the overall open-back design cannot be altered.

Are the floral appliques and beads securely attached?

The floral appliques are hand-sewn, and beads are applied to create a high-quality finish. While generally secure, gentle care during wear and washing is advised to maintain their attachment.

What kind of undergarments are recommended for the open back?

Consider seamless undergarments or a low-back bra solution that will be discreet or complement the open-back design without being visible.

Is the chiffon fabric sheer?

The description mentions chiffon fabric, which can sometimes be sheer. However, for a maxi dress intended for events, it is likely lined or designed to be opaque enough for wear, especially in the black color.

What is the return policy for this dress?

Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy for details on returns and exchanges, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Beads or appliques becoming loose

Carefully re-stitch any loose beads or appliques using a fine needle and matching thread. Consider reinforcing with a small amount of fabric glue if necessary.

Dress does not fit correctly

Ensure measurements were taken accurately against the size guide. If the fit is slightly off, consider minor alterations by a professional tailor for a perfect fit.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or use a cool iron on the reverse side. Avoid direct heat on embellished areas.

Chiffon fabric snagged

For minor snags, try to gently pull the snagged thread back through to the inside. For larger snags, professional repair may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This is a finished garment, so no 'setup' is required beyond wearing it.

Care Instructions:

  • Material: 100% Polyester.
  • Washing: Given the delicate nature of the appliques and embellishments, hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is recommended. Avoid wringing or twisting.
  • Drying: Lay flat on a clean towel away from direct sunlight or heat to air dry. Avoid tumble drying.
  • Ironing: Use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid ironing directly over the embellishments or appliques.
  • Storage: Hang on a padded hanger to maintain the shape and prevent creasing. Store in a breathable garment bag to protect from dust and snagging.
