FAQs

What type of fabric is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a woven fabric, with specific material details like Wool or Cotton noted for different variants, heavily embellished with crystals and sequins.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has a floor-sweeping maxi length, approximately 150cm.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the intricate embellishments, this dress should be dry cleaned only by a professional specializing in delicate garments.

Can I alter the dress?

Minor alterations might be possible by a skilled tailor experienced with embellished garments. However, significant alterations, especially to the embellished areas, are not recommended.

What kind of undergarments are best for this dress?

Given the halter neck and open back, seamless, low-back, or strapless undergarments are generally recommended. Consider the cut-out side panels when choosing undergarments.

Is the dress suitable for a summer formal event?

While the dress is heavily embellished, its sleeveless design and flowing cut make it suitable for evening events in warmer seasons, provided the indoor venue is climate-controlled.

How do the side ties work?

The delicate tie fastenings at the waist, located on the cut-out side panels, allow for a customized fit and add an architectural detail to the silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Sequins or crystals appear loose

Handle the garment with extreme care. If a few sequins or crystals are loose but still attached, attempt to carefully re-secure them with appropriate needle and thread, or consult a professional tailor specializing in embellishments.

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is the correct size and that the ties on the side panels are adjusted properly. If the issue persists, professional tailoring may be required for adjustments.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Consult a professional dry cleaner for steam pressing. Avoid ironing the embellished areas directly, as this can melt or damage the sequins and crystals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required. Ensure the size is correct before wearing.

Compatibility: This dress is designed for formal occasions and pairs best with minimalist accessories to allow the gown's craftsmanship to shine. Recommended footwear includes strappy heeled sandals, and for bags, a sleek clutch. Hair should ideally be styled in an updo or soft waves to complement the open back.

Care: Due to the delicate nature of the crystal and sequin embellishments and woven fabric, this dress requires specialized care. It is recommended to dry clean only by a reputable specialist. Avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, or lotions, which could damage the embellishments or fabric. Store the dress carefully in a garment bag to protect it from dust and snags. Handle with care to prevent any loose threads or dislodged sequins.
