FAQs

Is this dress suitable for a wedding guest?

Does the dress have any stretch?

The dress is made from a woven fabric, which typically offers limited natural stretch. Please refer to standard size guides for the best fit.

How should I clean the dress?

Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the cutwork and delicate embroidery.

Is the dress see-through?

What is the length of the dress?

The mini dress measures approximately 88cm in length, designed to sit above the knee for most wearers.

How should I store this dress to keep the sleeves voluminous?

Use a wide, padded hanger to prevent the sleeves from losing their shape or getting crushed in a cramped closet.

Troubleshooting

Snagging on the cutwork or embroidery

Avoid wearing jewelry with sharp edges or prongs that may catch on the open-weave lacework.

Wrinkling of the woven fabric

Use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping a safe distance from the embroidered areas to avoid heat damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment uses woven fabric with delicate embroidery and cutwork, proper maintenance is essential for longevity:

  • Care Instructions: Due to the hand-crafted nature of the embroidery and the intricate lacework, it is recommended to have this dress professionally dry-cleaned to prevent damage to the threads and open-weave panels.
  • Storage: Hang the dress using padded hangers to ensure the shoulder structure and the bishop sleeves retain their intended volume. Avoid hanging with sharp items that could snag the delicate cutwork.
  • Compatibility: The dress is designed as a standard UK size 18 fit. Given the woven material, ensure your measurements align with the brand size guide as there is limited natural stretch in the fabric compared to jersey or knit alternatives.
