FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, evening galas, cocktail parties, and sophisticated dinner events. Its elegant design makes it a versatile choice for many special occasions.

How should I care for the satin fabric?

The dress should be hand-washed in cool water only. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying. Iron on a low heat setting inside out or use a steamer. Store in a garment bag to prevent snags.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has a maxi length, measuring approximately 148cm. This length is designed to be floor-grazing for most individuals.

Can the fit be adjusted?

Yes, the tie-back detail allows for some adjustment in the fit around the upper back and waist area, helping to create a more personalized silhouette.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from 100% Viscose - Responsible Fibres, which provides a satin finish.

How does the bias-cut skirt affect the fit?

The bias-cut skirt is designed to drape elegantly and contour the body, creating a flattering silhouette. It allows the fabric to stretch subtly, providing comfort and movement.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct ironing on the satin unless on a very low heat and inside out.

Tie-back detail is difficult to secure.

Ensure the fabric is not twisted. Have someone assist you in tying it to achieve a neat and secure bow or knot. If the ties are too long, consider a simple knot.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you used cool water and a gentle handwash. Avoid harsh detergents. If stiffness persists, a very light fabric softener (diluted) might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Satin snags easily.

Be mindful of jewelry, rough surfaces, and sharp objects. Store the dress in a protective garment bag. Handle with care when dressing and undressing.
