Full details
This Goddiva Bardot Pleated Maxi Dress in Gold, UK size 14, is designed for adult females seeking an elegant gown for special evening occasions like proms, graduations, or weddings. Its key benefit is the flattering off-the-shoulder design and classic long length in a sophisticated wine colour, making the wearer feel like a 'Goddiva Goddess'.

FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal evening occasions such as weddings (as a guest or for bridesmaids), proms, graduations, and other special celebrations where an elegant gown is appropriate.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is made from 100% Polyester, offering a smooth finish and good drape.
How should I care for this dress?
It is recommended to hand wash in cold water or use a gentle machine cycle. Lay flat or hang to dry. Iron on a cool setting from the reverse side. Professional dry cleaning is also an option for optimal care.
Does the dress come in other colours?
While this specific listing is for the Gold variant (UK 14), Goddiva offers similar styles in other colours. Please check other product listings for available options.
Is the length suitable for shorter individuals?
The dress is a maxi length, which is floor-length. Petite individuals may require alterations to achieve the perfect hemline.
How does the off-the-shoulder neckline stay in place?
The Bardot neckline is designed to rest elegantly off the shoulders. It typically has enough fabric width and a snug fit around the upper arms and back to stay comfortably in place during wear.
Can I wear a bra with this dress?
Due to the off-the-shoulder design, strapless bras are generally recommended for a seamless look. Depending on the exact cut and fit, some may find it possible to wear a bra with clear straps.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased
Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For stubborn creases, iron on a cool setting inside out with a protective cloth.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you have used a mild detergent and cold water. Fabric softener can be used sparingly in the rinse cycle if desired. Lay flat to dry rather than tumble dry.
Pleats are losing their definition
Avoid harsh washing or tumble drying. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for maintaining pleat structure. If ironing at home, use a cool setting and press from the reverse side.
Color appears faded
Wash inside out in cold water with a color-safe detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying; opt for shade drying.
