FAQs
Is this dress true to size?
The dress is cut in a regular fit, which is generally true to standard size expectations for adult women's apparel.
Can I machine wash this dress?
It is strongly recommended to check the care label inside the garment. Due to the delicate nature of satin, hand washing or dry cleaning is often preferred to maintain the texture.
What kind of undergarments work best?
Seamless, nude-tone undergarments are recommended to maintain a clean line and prevent any VPL (visible panty line) through the satin.
How should I style the asymmetric hem?
The asymmetric hem naturally draws the eye; keep footwear simple, such as minimalist heels or ankle-strap sandals, to maintain the focus on the dress.
Is the fabric prone to staining?
Like most satin materials, it can show moisture or oil marks. It is best to avoid direct contact with lotions or perfumes on the fabric surface.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases in the satin
Use a garment steamer on a low setting. Do not apply a direct iron to the satin surface.
Fabric snagging or pulls
Ensure jewelry and accessories are smooth and do not have sharp edges that could catch the satin fibers.
Dress fit feels slightly loose in certain areas
Since it is a regular fit, consider a professional tailor for minor alterations if a more bespoke silhouette is desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the delicate nature of the satin finish, this garment should be handled with care. It is recommended to follow the specific garment label instructions, typically involving a gentle cycle or professional dry cleaning to avoid damaging the sheen. When storing, use a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the boat neckline. Avoid high-heat ironing; instead, use a steamer to gently remove creases, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the fabric to prevent water spotting or heat damage.
