Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the length of the gown?

The gown features a floor-length design measuring approximately 150cm.

Can I wash this dress in a washing machine?

No, this garment must be professionally dry cleaned due to the delicate crystal and glass bead embellishments.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The gown is crafted from high-quality satin, which provides a fluid, structured drape rather than significant stretch.

How should I store this gown?

Store it inside a breathable garment bag, hanging it in a closet to maintain the shape of the bodice and prevent the skirt from creasing.

What kind of undergarments work best?

Due to the open-back design, it is recommended to wear adhesive cups or have a tailor sew cups directly into the bodice.

Does the dress come in other sizes?

Yes, this style is available in a range of sizes from UK 6 to 18.

Troubleshooting

Loose beads or crystals found after an event

Carefully collect any loose embellishments and take them to a professional garment repair specialist for re-attachment.

Small snags in the satin fabric

Do not pull at the threads. Have a professional tailor carefully ease the thread back into the weave of the fabric.

Wrinkles in the skirt during travel

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom (avoiding direct water contact) to allow natural steam to release minor wrinkles from the satin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-impact visual appeal due to crystal detailing
  • Sophisticated open-back halter design
  • Fluid and comfortable movement while walking
  • Tailored fit for a flattering silhouette

  • Requires professional dry cleaning
  • Length may require professional hemming for shorter heights
  • Delicate beadwork requires careful wear to prevent snagging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your gown remains in optimal condition, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended due to the delicate glass bead and crystal embellishments. Avoid using household steam cleaners directly on the beaded areas, as heat can affect the adhesive or the integrity of the beads. When storing, keep the gown in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dark place to protect the fabric from snagging or color fading. Avoid contact with perfumes or oils near the bodice, as these can dull the luster of the crystals or leave marks on the satin fabric. If the gown requires a custom length adjustment, consult a professional tailor specializing in formal evening wear to ensure the weight of the skirt and the train are managed correctly.
