FAQs

What occasions is this top best suited for?

This top is ideal for formal events, evening parties, weddings, or any occasion where you want to make a sophisticated style statement.

How should I style the taffeta bow?

The taffeta bow is designed to be the focal point. Keep accompanying jewelry and accessories minimal and elegant to let the bow shine.

Can I machine wash this top?

Hand washing in cold water or dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the shape of the taffeta bow.

What type of undergarments are best?

Seamless undergarments in a nude or matching color are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette under the bandage knit.

Does the bandage knit offer much stretch?

Bandage knits provide a form-fitting silhouette but have moderate stretch. It's important to select the correct size for the intended flattering fit.

How do I care for the taffeta material?

Taffeta should be handled with care. Avoid high heat when ironing and consider steaming from a distance. Hand wash or dry clean is preferred.

Troubleshooting

Bow appears creased

Gently steam the taffeta bow on a low setting, keeping the iron at a distance. Avoid direct, high heat.

Garment feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Bandage knits offer less stretch than standard knits; consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments if needed.

Fabric pilling after wear

This can occur with some knit fabrics. Use a fabric shaver gently on affected areas, and always follow recommended washing instructions.
