What material is the dress made from?
The dress is made from high-quality Compact Stretch Viscose.
What is the length of the dress?

Does the dress have a lot of stretch?

How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart, which usually provides measurements for bust, waist, and hips corresponding to UK dress sizes. For this dress, the size provided is UK 8.
Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?
While the viscose fabric has some breathability, the formal nature and midi length make it more suitable for evenings or cooler formal events. It can be worn in warmer weather, but might feel warmer than lighter fabrics.
Troubleshooting
Dress does not fit as expected.
Consult the size guide for accurate measurements. This dress is designed for a fitted silhouette, so consider if a different size would be more comfortable, or if alterations are needed.
Crystal embellishments appear loose.
Gently check for any loose threads or crystals. If found, carefully attempt to secure them with a needle and thread matching the dress color. For significant issues, consult a professional tailor or the retailer.
Fabric feels stiff after cleaning.
Ensure the care instructions were followed precisely. If the fabric feels stiff, it may be due to improper drying. Allow the dress to air dry completely away from direct heat. Professional dry cleaning may offer a better result.
