FAQs

Is this dress suitable for petite frames only?

Yes, the 'Petite' in the name indicates it is specifically cut and proportioned for shorter individuals to ensure a better fit without the need for alterations.

What type of bra should I wear with the one-shoulder design?

A strapless bra or a bra with clear straps is generally recommended to maintain the clean lines of the one-shoulder design. Adhesive bra cups can also be an option.

Can the cape be detached or altered?

The cape is an integral part of the design and is not intended to be detached. Alterations should only be carried out by a professional tailor.

What kind of shoes would best complement this dress?

Strappy heeled sandals, elegant court shoes, or pointed-toe heels generally pair well with this midi dress. The choice of shoe can influence the overall formality of the look.

How should I store this dress?

It's best to store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape, especially around the shoulder and cape area. A breathable garment bag will protect it from dust.

Is the crepe fabric stretchy?

The description indicates the crepe fabric offers a comfortable feel. While crepe can have some natural give, it's generally not considered a highly stretchy material. It provides structure and elegant movement.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes or use a cool iron on the reverse side. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for stubborn creases.

Cape detail is not lying flat.

Ensure the dress is fully smoothed out. If necessary, a very light press with a cool iron on the reverse of the cape may help, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure it is properly hung.

Fit feels slightly off despite being a petite size.

While designed for petite frames, individual body shapes vary. Consider consulting a tailor for minor adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
