FAQs

Can I have this dress altered?

Yes, however, it is highly recommended that you take this to a professional formal-wear tailor, as adjusting a beaded garment requires specialized skills to avoid damaging the pattern.

Is the dress stretchy?

The dress is crafted from polyester and is designed to provide a structured, tailored fit. It has very limited stretch, so accurate sizing is important.

How should I store this gown?

Keep it in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and integrity of the beads.

Is this machine washable?

No. Due to the delicate handsewn beadwork, this dress must be dry cleaned by a professional.

Does the dress have a built-in bra?

The dress features a sheer illusion yoke, so it is recommended to wear a seamless, nude-colored undergarment or adhesive bra for the best look.

Troubleshooting

Missing or loose beads

Check the garment after each wear. If you notice a loose thread, take the dress to a professional tailor who specializes in formal wear or beadwork restoration.

Zip is sticking

Ensure the dress is fully cooled after steaming and that no fabric or loose threads are caught in the teeth of the zipper; never force the zip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adrianna Papell gown stays in pristine condition, proper storage is essential. Hang the dress on a high-quality, padded hanger to prevent stress on the shoulder seams and to protect the beadwork. Because of the heavy handsewn beading, avoid storing the dress in direct sunlight, which can fade the fabric or affect the luster of the beads over time. Due to the intricate construction and beading, this garment is strictly for professional dry cleaning. Never attempt to wash this dress in a standard washing machine or soak it, as water exposure may damage the adhesive or stitching holding the beading in place.
