FAQs

What type of undergarment is best for a bandeau neckline?

A strapless bra or adhesive bra cups are typically recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette under the bandeau neckline.

How should I store this dress?

Store the dress on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or creasing, preferably in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust.

Can this dress be machine washed?

Due to the delicate nature of the embroidery and the cotton-linen blend, dry cleaning is the recommended method for washing to maintain the garment's integrity.

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for summer weddings, garden parties, race days, graduations, and other formal or semi-formal events.

How long is the dress approximately?

The midi length falls to approximately 107cm.

What materials is the dress made from?

Can I alter the dress if needed?

Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit correctly

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not as expected, consider if alterations are needed or explore available sibling sizes.

Embroidery appears delicate or snagged

Handle the dress with care. Avoid sharp objects or rough surfaces that could snag the embroidery. If a thread is pulled, carefully try to tuck it back in with a needle, or consult a professional tailor.

Fabric feels stiff or uncomfortable

The cotton-linen blend may feel slightly structured initially. Wear the dress for short periods to allow the fabric to soften and adapt to your body. Ensure appropriate undergarments are worn for comfort.
