FAQs

Is the dress machine washable?

No, due to the intricate floral appliqué and delicate glass bead detailing, this dress must be professionally dry cleaned.

What is the total length of the dress?

The dress features a maxi length of approximately 144cm, designed to skim the floor.

What materials are used for the bodice?

The bodice is constructed from a cotton and flax blend, chosen for its structure and breathability.

Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?

The halterneck silhouette is best paired with a backless or adhesive bra to ensure the deep V-neckline and back design remain unencumbered.

Is the skirt lined?

The skirt is constructed from a semi-sheer woven material, consistent with its flowing, ethereal aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Beads appear loose or missing

Avoid tugging at loose threads; take the dress to a professional seamstress or tailor experienced with artisanal embroidery for secure reattachment.

Wrinkling in the pleated skirt

Use a light handheld steamer from a distance, avoiding direct contact with the bodice or beads, to gently release wrinkles from the pleats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and artisanal design suitable for formal events
  • Flattering halterneck cut provides an elegant silhouette
  • High-quality bead and embroidery detailing
  • Comfortable cotton-based construction for better breathability

Cons

  • Requires delicate care due to glass bead detailing
  • Long 144cm length may require professional hemming for shorter individuals
  • The intricate appliqué and beadwork make machine washing impossible

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because of the glass beadwork and delicate embroidery, this dress must be handled with extreme care. We strongly recommend professional dry cleaning to protect the artisanal elements of the bodice. Avoid exposing the garment to direct moisture or heavy perfumes, which can tarnish the glass beads over time. When storing, ensure the dress is kept in a breathable garment bag, hanging vertically to prevent the pleats of the skirt from losing their shape or the beadwork from catching on other fabrics. Given the structured bodice, it is recommended to pair this dress with appropriate undergarments that maintain the integrity of the V-neckline.
