FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, galas, evening parties, and other special occasions where an elegant and sophisticated look is desired.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, paying close attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements. As this is a UK size 14, consult a conversion chart if ordering internationally.

Can the balloon sleeves be adjusted?

The balloon sleeves are part of the dress's design and are not typically adjustable.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Given the plunge neckline, seamless undergarments or a plunge bra are recommended. Nude or matching colors will be least visible.

How do I clean the polka dot tulle overlay?

Hand wash the entire dress in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the tulle and polka dots. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Is the dress lined?

The description mentions a tiered maxi skirt and a sheer tulle overlay. It is likely the skirt has some lining for opacity, but the upper part and sleeves are sheer.

What is the material of the dress?

The dress is primarily made of polyester, with a sheer tulle overlay featuring a polka dot pattern.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric.

Tulle snag or small tear

For minor snags, attempt to gently pull the fabric back into place. For larger tears, professional tailoring or repair may be necessary.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. A small amount of lubricant like graphite from a pencil can sometimes help.
