FAQs

What type of occasion is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings (as a guest or bridesmaid), black-tie dinners, evening galas, and other special celebrations.

How should I care for the scuba crepe fabric?

We recommend hand washing in cold water or dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's quality. Avoid tumble drying and iron on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth.

What kind of bra is recommended with the off-the-shoulder design?

A strapless bra or adhesive bra cups are generally recommended to maintain the clean lines of the off-the-shoulder neckline.

Is this dress suitable for all body types?

The dress is designed to be flattering with its maxi length and pleated waist. However, personal fit and comfort with the off-the-shoulder style can vary. Trying it on or consulting size charts is advised.

Can the powder blue color be worn year-round?

Yes, the powder blue shade is versatile. It's particularly refreshing for spring and summer events but can also be incorporated into fall or winter formal occasions with appropriate styling and layering.

Does the dress run true to size?

Sizing can vary between brands. It is recommended to consult the specific size guide provided by Goddiva to ensure the best fit for UK Size 14.

Troubleshooting

Dress wrinkles easily

Hang the dress immediately after wear. Use a cool iron with a pressing cloth for any necessary touch-ups. Steaming is also an effective method for removing wrinkles.

Off-the-shoulder neckline slips

Ensure the fit is correct; a professional tailor can make minor adjustments. Consider using fashion tape to secure the neckline to the skin. Opt for bras designed to work with off-the-shoulder styles.

Fabric feels stiff

This is characteristic of scuba crepe, designed for structure. Ensure proper care is followed. Gentle steaming can sometimes soften the fabric slightly.

Color transfer concerns

Hand wash separately in cold water for the first wash. Avoid prolonged contact with lighter-colored fabrics, especially when damp.
