FAQs

What type of bra should I wear with this dress?

A strapless bra or a bra with a clear back strap is recommended to maintain the clean line of the one-shoulder design. Some may opt for adhesive bra cups.

Is this dress suitable for a wedding guest?

Yes, this dress is highly suitable for wedding guests, particularly for evening or formal receptions, providing an elegant and stylish option.

How does the mermaid hem affect movement?

The mermaid hem is fitted through the hips and thighs, flaring out at the knee. While it creates a beautiful silhouette, it can slightly restrict stride length. It is generally comfortable for walking and standing, but may require shorter steps.

Can I machine wash this dress?

It is strongly recommended to dry clean this dress to preserve its quality and shape. Machine washing may damage the fabric and the cape sleeve construction.

What occasions is this dress best for?

This dress is perfect for evening parties, formal events, cocktail nights, weddings, and any occasion requiring chic elegance.

Does the dress run true to size?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart for accurate measurements. Generally, check reviews for insights on sizing. For this specific size 18, ensure your measurements align with the UK 18 specifications.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is being worn with the correct undergarments and that the one-shoulder strap is positioned properly. Check if the garment has been creased during storage and allow it to hang for a day or two.

Fabric appears wrinkled

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period to allow wrinkles to fall out. If necessary, use a cool iron setting as per care instructions.

Cape sleeve feels restrictive

Ensure the dress is the correct size. A size up might offer more ease of movement. The design inherently has some structure which can feel less freeing than a sleeveless dress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required. Ensure you have appropriate undergarments in mind for the one-shoulder design.

Compatibility: This dress is designed for adult women. Its style is best suited for formal and semi-formal occasions.

Care Instructions:

  • Material: 100% Polyester
  • Washing: Due to the delicate nature of the cape sleeves and the polyester fabric, dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the garment's shape and texture.

  • Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or distortion of the shoulder and sleeve areas. Store in a breathable garment bag to protect from dust.
