FAQs

What is the best way to store this dress?

Store the dress in a cool, dry place inside a breathable garment bag, preferably lying flat to prevent the weight of the embellishments from stretching the straps.

Can I wear this dress to a wedding?

Yes, its formal maxi length and sophisticated embellishment make it an excellent choice for black-tie or formal dress code weddings.

Does the dress have stretch?

The dress is crafted from a woven construction intended to maintain a fitted, sculptural shape, so it does not feature significant stretch.

How should I clean the dress?

This garment must be professionally dry cleaned only due to the fragile nature of the hand-applied beads and sequins.

What type of undergarments should I wear?

Due to the deep plunge V-neckline and fitted bodice, seamless, low-profile undergarments or adhesive support options are recommended.

Is the side split adjustable?

No, the side split is a fixed design element intended to allow for movement and should not be altered.

Troubleshooting

Missing or loose beads

Carefully collect any loose beads and consult with a professional tailor or seamstress who specializes in bridal or evening wear for secure re-attachment.

Snagged sequin

Do not pull the thread. Gently adjust the surrounding fabric to see if the sequin can be smoothed back into position. If the thread is broken, consult a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, store it lying flat or inside a breathable garment bag to protect the hand-sewn beads. Because of the delicate nature of the sequins and glass beadwork, this dress is not suitable for machine washing. It is recommended that you take the garment to a professional dry cleaner specializing in delicate or evening wear. When wearing, be mindful of abrasive surfaces or heavy jewelry that could snag the embroidery. Inspect the hem and strap attachments periodically if the dress is worn frequently to ensure the structural integrity remains intact.
