Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length, measuring approximately 140cm.

Is the dress sheer?

The dress features sheer lace; however, it is fully lined through the torso and body to ensure appropriate coverage.

Can I wash this in a washing machine?

No, due to the beaded embellishments and lace construction, this item should be professionally dry cleaned.

What type of footwear works best with the fishtail hem?

The silhouette is versatile; block-heeled mules or elegant strappy sandals are recommended for formal occasions.

Is the fit true to size?

The dress is designed with a body-skimming silhouette; it is recommended to follow the standard UK sizing guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Beads catching on fabric

Ensure that accessories such as bracelets or sharp-edged bags are removed to prevent snagging the delicate lace.

Lining visible or bunching

Smooth out the interior lining layer carefully before zipping the dress to ensure a seamless silhouette against the body.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality architectural design
  • Sophisticated, textured beaded detailing
  • Fully lined for comfortable coverage
  • Flattering, movement-focused fishtail hem
  • Ideal for a wide range of formal evening occasions

Cons

  • Requires professional cleaning due to beading
  • Intricate construction demands careful storage
  • Limited stretch due to body-skimming fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Given the delicate nature of the beaded lace, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or jewelry that might snag the fabric. Because the dress is fully lined and features a tailored, body-skimming cut, ensure you select your correct size to maintain the intended structure without straining the seams. When not in use, the dress should be hung on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion, or stored flat in a breathable garment bag. Due to the density and type of embellishments, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended to preserve the integrity of the beads and the botanical lace pattern.
