FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, christenings, races, graduations, and smart afternoon parties due to its refined jacquard fabric and elegant design.

How should I wash this dress?

We recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent or professional dry cleaning. Avoid machine washing, bleaching, or tumble drying.

Can the tulip-tie straps be adjusted?

Yes, the straps can be adjusted by varying how they are tied into bows at the shoulders. This allows for a degree of customization for fit and style.

What type of undergarments are best for the open back?

A seamless or adhesive bra is recommended to maintain a clean line with the open back design. Consider the cut and coverage needed.

Does the dress come with a belt?

Yes, the dress includes a slim self-fabric belt made from the same material, designed to cinch the waist and define the figure.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress features a midi length hemline, which typically falls below the knee and above the ankle.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from a woven jacquard fabric, primarily polyester, featuring a floral motif and a subtle sheen.

Troubleshooting

Dress arrived creased

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For stubborn creases, hand wash and air dry flat, then iron on a cool setting on the reverse side.

Straps are too long/short

The tulip-tie straps can be adjusted by how they are tied into bows. Experiment with different knot tensions to achieve the desired fit and length.

Fabric feels stiff

This is characteristic of structured jacquard fabric, designed to hold its shape. It will soften slightly with gentle wear and proper care.

Seams appear strained

Ensure the dress is not overstretched. Avoid pulling aggressively on seams. If strain is evident, check for fit issues; consider if the size is appropriate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care Instructions:

Due to the delicate nature of the woven jacquard fabric and the design details, this dress requires specific care to maintain its appearance.

Washing: Hand wash only in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting.
Drying: Lay flat on a clean towel to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
Ironing: Use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. A steamer can also be used on a low setting.
Dry Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning is recommended for best results and to preserve the fabric's integrity.

Styling Notes:

Consider the open back when selecting undergarments. Seamless styles or bandeaus are often recommended. Strappy heels and minimalist accessories will best complement the dress's design.
