FAQs

What length is the dress?

The dress has a total maxi length of approximately 144cm.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, due to the delicate glass beadwork and appliqué, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

What type of bra should I wear with this?

The deep V-neck and halterneck design work best with adhesive stick-on cups or a specialty low-cut, backless bra.

Is the fabric heavy?

The bodice has weight due to the embellishments, while the skirt is made of a light, semi-sheer woven cotton for movement.

Is this dress suitable for a black-tie event?

Yes, its refined artisanal finish and elegant silhouette make it highly appropriate for formal evening events and weddings.

Troubleshooting

A loose bead or thread on the bodice

Do not pull at the thread. Carefully trim it with small embroidery scissors or secure it with a matching thread if you have sewing experience.

Wrinkles in the pleated skirt

Use a low-heat garment steamer from a distance. Avoid direct contact with an iron as it may damage the semi-sheer fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated artisanal detailing with glass beads
  • Elegant halterneck silhouette enhances the upper body
  • Flowing, graceful movement suitable for formal events

Cons

  • Requires careful handling due to delicate beadwork

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment features glass bead detailing and floral appliqué, it is essential to handle the dress with care. Always store the dress hanging in a garment bag to prevent snagging the delicate embroidery on other items. Due to the beaded bodice, avoid machine washing; dry cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve the integrity of the beads and the structure of the appliqué. When dressing, ensure all jewelry is secured before putting on the dress to avoid catching the beadwork. The garment is designed as a standard UK size 6 fit; if you are between sizes, consider a professional tailor to ensure the bodice fits perfectly against your frame.
