Product Information

Full details

The Bardot Arletha Halter Maxi Dress in soft blue is ideal for women seeking an elegant, yet comfortable, statement piece for special occasions or elevated casual wear. Its key benefit is the flattering silhouette created by the halter neckline, tie-back straps, and flowing skirt. A potential consideration is its pull-on style, which requires careful fitting. This dress features a maxi length, adjustable tie-back straps, a shaped waist seam with gathers, and a low open back, all designed for a sophisticated and effortless look.

FAQs

What type of bra should I wear with this dress?

Due to the low open back, a strapless bra, adhesive bra, or backless bra is recommended. The halter neck style can sometimes accommodate bralettes that tie at the back.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the Bardot size chart for accurate measurements. The UK size is indicated (e.g., UK 10). Pay attention to bust and waist measurements for the best fit, especially given the pull-on style.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, like most garments, it can be altered. Common alterations include hemming the length or adjusting strap length if needed, though tie-back straps offer adjustability.

What is the fabric of the dress?

The product information indicates it is fully lined, suggesting a lightweight fabric suitable for dresses. Specific fabric composition should be checked on the garment's care label.

Is this dress suitable for formal events?

Yes, the elegant design, maxi length, and halter neckline make it suitable for many formal events, especially summer or outdoor weddings and evening functions.

How should I care for the dress to ensure longevity?

Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, avoid tumble drying, and iron on a low setting if needed. Always refer to the care label on the garment for precise instructions.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not lay flat at the waist

Ensure the tie-back straps are adjusted correctly and the waist seam gathers are evenly distributed.

Straps are too long or too short

Adjust the tie-back straps to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. If significant length needs removing, consider professional alteration.

Fabric appears wrinkled after washing

Ensure the dress is dried correctly and ironed on a low setting on the reverse side as per care instructions. Avoid overcrowding the washing machine.

Color appears faded

This may be due to washing with harsh detergents or excessive sun exposure during drying. Always follow cold water, mild detergent, and air-dry instructions.
