Is this dress suitable for a black-tie event?

Can I wear a necklace with this dress?

Troubleshooting
Wrinkles in the satin fabric
Use a garment steamer on a low setting from a distance of 6 inches, moving in a continuous motion.
Shoulder knot looks loose
Gently adjust the fabric folds within the knot while wearing to ensure even tension and proper drape.
Dress is too long for intended heels
Consult a professional tailor to have the hem shortened, ensuring the internal structural balance of the flare is preserved.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is made from a premium satin weave, proper care is essential to maintain its finish. It is recommended to have the garment professionally dry cleaned to protect the integrity of the weave. When storing, ensure the dress is hung on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the twisted knot and prevent shoulder creasing. The dress is true to size for a UK 10; however, consider the 140cm length when choosing your footwear to avoid tripping or fabric damage. If you choose to steam the dress before an event, use a low-heat setting and keep the steamer at a safe distance to prevent water spots on the satin fabric.
