Strappy metallic sandals for formal occasions or statement heeled boots for a contemporary edge are recommended.

What is the length of the dress?

How do I care for the chiffon fabric?

Due to the delicate nature of chiffon, dry cleaning is recommended. If ironing, use a cool setting on the reverse side.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not drape as expected

Ensure the dress is fully unwrinkled and hanging freely. The chiffon fabric achieves its best drape when free of creases. Consider steaming gently if minor wrinkles persist.

Belt is difficult to tie securely

Ensure the belt is positioned at the natural waist. Try a double knot for extra security if needed. The self-tie is designed for adjustability; experiment with different tying methods for the best fit.

Ruffles appear flat

Gently shake out the dress after unpacking or cleaning. The ruffles are designed to cascade; they should naturally fall into place with movement. Avoid pressing them flat with an iron.
