FAQs
What type of bra is suitable for the open back design?

What occasions is this dress most suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, black-tie functions, galas, and upscale evening receptions.
What is the fit like?
The dress features a soft tailored silhouette that gracefully skims the body. It is designed for a refined fit.
How do I care for the dress to ensure longevity?
The dress is dry clean only. Avoid washing at home. Store on a padded hanger in a garment bag.
Can the length be altered?
Yes, the maxi length can be altered by a professional tailor to achieve the perfect hemline for your height and chosen footwear. Ensure any alterations consider the side split.
Troubleshooting
Dress does not drape as expected.
Ensure the dress is fully steamed or ironed according to fabric care instructions. Proper hanging and storage also contribute to drape.
Side split feels restrictive.
The side split is designed for movement; ensure it is not catching on other garments or footwear. Gentle stretching or professional alteration might be considered if fit is severely impacting movement.
Color fading or fabric damage after cleaning.
Always follow the 'Dry Clean Only' instruction precisely. Using an unreputable dry cleaner can lead to damage. Consult a high-quality dry cleaner specializing in formal wear.
