FAQs
What type of undergarments are best for this dress?
Seamless undergarments are recommended to avoid visible lines under the figure-hugging bandage fabric. A strapless bra or a bra with clear straps may also be suitable depending on the neckline.
Is this dress suitable for all body types?
The bandage design is intended to be flattering on many body types. However, due to its figure-hugging nature, it emphasizes the silhouette. Consider your comfort level with form-fitting garments.

The dress is made from a high-quality bandage fabric, designed for structure and a flattering fit. Specific material composition is usually detailed on the product's care label.
How should I store this dress?
It is best to store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing. Avoid folding it tightly.
Can the gold zip detail be removed or altered?
The asymmetric zip detail is a design feature and is not intended for removal or alteration. Attempting to alter it could damage the dress.
What occasions is this dress most suitable for?
This dress is ideal for evening events, cocktail parties, formal dinners, and as guest attire for weddings. Its sophisticated design makes it suitable for occasions requiring a polished look.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight
Bandage dresses are designed for a snug fit. If it feels restrictive, consider if the size is appropriate or if shapewear underneath might assist with comfort.
Zip is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zip up and down. If it remains stuck, a small amount of graphite pencil lead rubbed on the teeth can sometimes help lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zip.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a steamer on a low setting, keeping it at a distance from the fabric. Alternatively, iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side with a pressing cloth.
