FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is primarily made from Polyester, providing structure and durability.

How should I size this dress?

The bandage knit construction offers a close fit. Consult the brand's specific size chart and consider your measurements carefully. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a slightly more relaxed fit, though the design is intended to be body-contouring.

Can the fringe be removed?

The fringe is an integral design element and is not intended to be removed.

Is this dress suitable for very hot weather?

While made of polyester, the design features a sleeveless cut. However, polyester can be less breathable than natural fibers, so consider layering or styling options for extremely high temperatures.

What type of bra should I wear?

A seamless, strapless, or plunge bra would be most suitable to maintain the sleek silhouette and avoid visible lines under the V-neckline and fitted bodice.

How do I care for the fringe detailing?

Handle the fringe with care to avoid tangling or snagging. Follow the specific washing and drying instructions, prioritizing gentle methods like hand washing and laying flat to dry.

Troubleshooting

Fringe tangling or creasing

Gently separate tangled strands by hand. For creases, carefully steam the fringe on a low setting, holding the steamer at a distance. Avoid direct, high heat.

Bandage knit losing shape

Ensure correct washing and drying methods (lay flat to dry). Avoid prolonged hanging if the knit is prone to stretching. Store folded if necessary, taking care with the fringe.

Semi-sheer effect not as desired

Experiment with different types of seamless undergarments in a neutral tone or a tone that complements the blue colour of the dress.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This dress requires no 'setup' in the traditional sense; it is ready to wear upon purchase.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and appearance of the fringe detailing and bandage knit, adhere to the following care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Hand wash cold or use a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Lay flat to dry. Do not wring or twist the fabric, especially the fringe.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary. It is often best to steam the garment to remove wrinkles, particularly around the fringe.
  4. Dry Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning is recommended for best results and to preserve the fabric's quality.
  5. Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or damage to the fringe.
