Bardot Bow Back Fishtail Wedding Dress - Coast - 18

The dress is made from luxurious satin fabric.

It is strongly recommended to have the dress professionally dry cleaned by a specialist experienced with wedding gowns and delicate satin materials.

No, a standard bra's straps would show. You should wear a strapless bra or adhesive cups for the best and most seamless look.

The bow is designed as an integral feature of the dress's aesthetic. While a professional tailor might be able to alter it, it's intended to be a fixed design element.

A fingertip veil or a short, simple modern veil would complement the clean lines and contemporary style of this dress best, without competing with the detailed back or neckline.

Store the dress in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged storage in plastic garment bags, which can trap moisture and chemicals.

Use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer head a few inches away from the fabric. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Alternatively, consult a professional bridal tailor or dry cleaner for steaming.

Gently adjust the bow by hand to ensure it lies flat and symmetrically. If it requires more stability, discreetly use a small safety pin or consult an alterations specialist for minor adjustments to its attachment.

Do not pull the snagged thread. Gently push it back into the fabric using a fine needle. For more significant snags, seek professional repair from a tailor specializing in delicate fabrics.

While the fishtail hem offers a dramatic look, it can restrict large movements. Practice moving in the dress before the event. For dancing, consider strategic steps or temporary bustling if professionally altered to allow for more freedom.
