FAQs

What type of fabric is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a tailored crepe fabric, which offers structure with gentle stretch for comfort.

What is the length of the midi dress?

The midi length design falls approximately 131cm from the shoulder.

Is the dress suitable for petite frames?

The midi length and column shape are designed to be flattering. However, precise fit may vary; consulting the size guide and considering potential tailoring for petite frames is advisable.

Can I wear a regular bra with this dress?

Due to the bandeau neckline, a strapless bra or specialized undergarments designed for bandeau styles would be most appropriate to maintain the dress's clean silhouette.

How should I clean the dress?

The dress is recommended for dry clean only to preserve the fabric and embellishments.

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, races, black-tie events, and upscale evening parties.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

Yes, the tailored crepe fabric offers gentle stretch for enhanced comfort and fit.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage or travel.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or have it professionally pressed on a low heat setting, focusing on the reverse side.

Embellishments feel loose.

Carefully inspect the embellishments. Minor looseness may be gently tightened with needle and thread if possible, otherwise consult a professional tailor for repair.

Fit around the bust/torso is not as expected.

Consider the bandeau style. Ensure accurate measurements were taken. If alterations are needed, consult a tailor experienced with formal wear for adjustments to the bodice.
